Blackhill Emeralds club notes

June 30, 2015

Junior Championship: Blackhill got their championship campaign up and running with a victory over Sean Mc Dermott's last Sunday evening in Clontibret. The teams exchanged some good scores in what was quite a cagey affair in the first half. The introduction of Darren Woods at the interval paid immediate dividends as he hit the onion bag to create a  small lead that the Blackhill defence would not surrender. Blackhill now progress to round 2 where they will face Killeevan on July 26th.
