U14 hurlers enjoyed Meath trip

July 24, 2014
A trip to Dunganny in Meath will have benefited the Wicklow U14 hurlers greatly.

The Development Squad group were at the Royal County's Centre of Excellence for the Leinster Blitz last Saturday morning and their 25-strong squad travelled full of confidence as preparations had been thorough.

Kildare provided the opposition in Wicklow's opening game, which was a close contest until the Lilywhites pulled away in the closing stages for a six-point success.

Down were next up and unfortunately the Garden County fell to another defeat, perhaps feeling the effects of a lengthy wait between games as the northerners looked sharper from the off.

Even though the young lads didn't manage to get a victory on their travels, the experience of playing against players of a similar standard from other counties will surely serve them well in the future.
