Juveniles

U15’s – The U15's played Bray in the U15 championship final on Sat 12 Oct in An Tochar. Bray got off to a flying start with 2 early goals. Blessington got it back to a 3-point game at half time and could have been ahead with chances created. The lads dominated the second half creating a lot of chances and scored 1:05 to 0:04 in the half leaving it all square at 1:10 to 2:7 at full time, ended in a draw and had to go to extra time. Early goals in either half of extra time sealed the game for Bray. A game we left behind us in normal time. It’s been a good year in both League and Championship both in and off the field. Great to see so many of the traveling U15s down to the Juniors match after the game and hope to see them all back at it next year again.

 

U13’s – Hard luck to our U13 Div 1 squad who lost to St Nick's on Sat 12 Oct in the Shield Final on a scoreline of 4.08 to 2.08. We were 1.5 to 0:4 points behind at half time. We battled well in the second half and were level at one stage. But Nicks took more goal chances in the second half to win the match. Well done to all our players and management. And thanks to all parents who supported lads on with early morning match.
