This is a very young Castleblayney team who had some very good performers on the night from Joshua Walsh,Francis Mc Geough, and Ryan Mc Kiernan.The week is busy for the boys,they are down to play away to Aughnamullen this Thursday night at 7 pm and have an away match on Saturday versus Ballybay at 12pm.

The Under 12 Senior team were up next as they played Latton in a tough game. Latton start off with a couple of great goals and put the Blayney team under pressure from the off at half time Blayney trailed by five points but this young team have great character and whatever words of wisdom that the management team had to say at half time it worked as it was a different Blayney team who took the pitch in the second half. The boys moved the ball well , with a forward line making use of the ball to great effect as they put up two goals and five points without reply to run out winners at the final whistle .Best for the Senior team were Niall Carville, Rory Mc Glynn, Colm Bishop and James Mc Adam.
