AGBs Senior Men faced Baltinglass on Saturday evening in wet and wintery conditions in Joule Park Aughrim. A strong first half saw AGB advance well and the momentum and courage grow through the AGB men as they ploughed their way up the field. Huge efforts were made to ensure they were leading at half time after a great first half and AGB lead 3-04 to Baltinglass 0-06. The second half saw Baltinglass come out strong and determined but they never quite made that mark on AGB who powered on. There were some very close encounters when Baltinglass began to clock up their points but AGB maintained their own on the pitch and continued strong. The final score saw AGB finish 4-06 to Baltinglass 1-11. A huge victory for AGB, and one that hasn't been seen since 1960 when an Arklow team defeated Baltinglass in Championship. The next senior championship match for AGBs men is Saturday 25th of August in Ashford where they take in St. Pat's at 7pm. 

 

AGBs Junior Bs travelled to Hollywood on Thursday evening to play them. A tough encounter for the Junior Bs saw them fall slowly behind Hollywood in the first half, where Hollywood were in the lead by half time. The second half saw much more action from AGB who quickly began to catch up with the scores. A final score of AGB 2-11 to Hollywood 2-14 saw the match end in Hollywood's favor. This result means AGB don't move through to the next stage of the junior b championship. Well done lads on a great junior b campaign. 

 

AGBs Intermediate Ladies continued their Championship campaign last Sunday morning to Bray at home in Ballymoney. An unfortunate show if numbers for Bray saw them start with only 12 girls after a discussion with management and the referee. AGB powered on and played excellent football against a good Bray side. Final score saw AGBs ladies finish 8-13 to 1-04. Well done girls, the semi final looms next.

 

AGBs Senior Ladies took the road to Baltinglass on Friday night where they played a great game of football in their championship. A level score at half time of 1-04 to 0-007 saw both teams come out full of action and ready to go in the second half. The AGB girls played a great game and were unfortunate to finish 1-09 to 0-17, after putting in huge efforts. Well done girls.
