The Intermediates played the second round of their championship campaign on Saturday last in Baltinglass. Like most championship matches the outcome usually swings towards the team that wants and needs it more. The lads took the lead with 15 minutes to go, but they never looked like taking the game by the Oscruff of the neck', Dunlavin tagged on four scores after we took the lead, and eased to a three point win. We conceded 14 points, simply not good enough to win a championship match and any team will find it difficult to win when about a third of the team play well. It's back to basics when we play Eire Og Greystones in the championship next, there will be no more Oback door', its back to old style championship from now on in. One defeat and it's final curtains' for the 2008 season. The U12's travelled to Stratford last Thursday and dished out a hiding, winning on a scoreline of 9-11 to 1-1. I don't believe these miss matches achieve very much for either side. The play at home this Thursday to Ballinacor at 7.15PM. The U16's start their All County Championship on Monday and Wednesday at home to Newtown and Avondale next week. Anything can be expected!! The U10's All County Blitzs commence shortly. The Junior C's played away to Kiltegan and lost, they play in Lacken on Thursday against Valleymount. The 80 Cycle Event takes place on the 13th of July, in aid of the club and The Blessington and District Senior Citizens. Sponsor cards are now available from Diarmuid on 086-3113443.
