Seniors – The Seniors bowed out of the championship after a narrow one point loss to Magheracloone after extra-time last Saturday night. Blayney started brightly and an early Ciaran Hanratty goal saw us lead but the rest of the first half was dominated by M’Cloone who led by three at the break. A more determined Blayney came out for the second half and a rare Cormac Brady goal and an injury time free from Mark Hanratty seemed to have seen Blayney home but a late late Magheracloone point took us to extra-time. Scoring was to be at a premium in extra-time and a Magheracloone goal was ultimately to be Blayneys undoing. Although we reduced the arrears to the bare minimum several chances went begging as we agonizingly lost 2-14 to 2-13.

Under 12 – A bad day on Saturday was compounded by both u12 teams losing out on finals day. First in action was the U12 development squad who are essentially an u11 team. They played with great heart against Clontibret and led for most of the game before a final period rally saw Clontibret home. The Division 1 final was up next against Carrickmacross, we suffered a nightmare start from which we never recovered and despite pulling the deficit back to three points late of Carrick ran out worthy winners. Thanks to all the boys and mentors for giving us great excitement this year and we look forward to a great future for this bunch of lads.
