The team were away to Tomnafinoge on Wednesday evening in their first round of championship. Well done on a brilliant game. Final score Blessington 3-13 to Tomnafinoge 0-09
U14 Boys
Another super performance this morning from the lads in Celbridge. We were up by 2 points at half time 3-04 to 2-05, playing against a strong enough breeze, we probably could have led by more, but the lads upped it in the second half, and we’re on top all over try pitch. Some great performances from the younger lads once again who stepped up for us, and with the work rate of the entire panel in the second half conceding only 3 points, we ended up winning on a scoreline of 6-15 to 2-08, partly due to 3 super saves from Noah in goals. Well done to all, great start back to the Kildare championship 🔵⚪👍. And huge thanks to those who travelled out so early on a Sunday morning.
