Have to agree with Balto Blesso final. Maybe just Balto to edge victory,especially with the likes of Kevin Murphy,John Ozbourne,The Kennedy brothers and Edward Balfe,all who are very promising players with bright futures.

Luke o Tooles will be a strong force in the minor Championship this year.With 5 players on this years minor county team it shows they will be no push over.They ran out easy winners against newtown, winning by 12 points with good performances all over the pitch.Bray will be hard to beat this year but it depends on how much they want it!!

Blessington to win the Minor Championship again this year.
Complacency will be their toughest challenge.

Dont forget the championship is in its early stages.Blessington have set the pace but they still havn't come up aginst the so called big guns.Lets see how they get on with them games and then we'll judge them!!

East coast radio predicted that Bray Emmets and Baltinglass would be favourites for the Minor this year. Blessington have beaten both, don't think they will be lacking when meeting the others. In the Blessington v Baltinglass game Blessington didn't get one free in the Baltinglass end yet still managed to score 8-9. I agree with the previous poster, if they don't get complacent, they should go all the way

wouldnt wut it past pats or luke o tooles to upset either bray or blesso respectively no matter what the group results turn out to be........i mean blesso were looking good last year and pats almost had their number in the semi final untill late goal went in....and look o tooles have a never saydie attitude nd terrific mid field which could help them immensley against blesso in the semis......

Bray Emmetts will win it this year. The lads are focused and want it.

pats with a good win over blessington last night have put themsleves right into contention........and showed they are a beatable team.........and even though blessington were missing dean siney pats were missng 3 starters and alot of ther team were at a debs the night before.....

glad to see nobody dropping down from the "A" championship to the "B" championship.thought it was a bit unfair on a good ballinacor team last year that bray dropped down to the "B" and beat them in the final.looks like bray again for the minor

There is more to Blessington than Dean Siney, he is not the only danger man, Blessington do so well because they work as a team. Maccers at full back, Curtis at midfield and that little Hanno who gets around the field, not forgetting Boylan that wicked scoring machine. These lads will be match winners

Minor08fan (Wicklow) - Posts: 79 - 06/09/2008 21:50:55    94388

that is true boylan is also an excellent player.....although smullen did good job of marking him when they played 2 weeks ago....it all depends whether or not defences can handle both siney and boylan when both are fit...

so whats everyones thoughts on championship now at semi final stage??.....

pats vs bray

blessington vs luke o tooles

..both games will be close ,bray to win by 5 or 6 points,blesso to win by 3 to 4.....i think luke o tooles will prove to be a handful and will be closer than people expect but the experience of last year should stand to blesso..bray will have too much firepower for pats and i expect them to win handy enough...so bray and blesso final for me ,with bray winning by a point or two
