U15’s – Busy week for the U15's. Some of the U15's involved with the Minors in their win Mon 9 Sep in League game v Clan na Gael. Tues 11 Sep the U15's played An Tochar away with only 14 players the lads were up 3 points at half time and upped their game in the 2nd half and came away with a good win on a score of 3-08 to 0-05. On Sat 15 Sep Lads played St. Mouges of Wexford in Carlow in the Crossborder league final. A panel of 25 travelled down to Carlow for the last game before championship. Blessington were up 0-05 to 0-03 at 20 min on 40 min Blessington were 0-07 to 0-05 up. But St Mouges came back in the last 20 to finish on a score of Blessington 0-09 to 3-05. Blessington had their goal chances but the post denied them twice and another deflected just wide. Everybody was disappointed in the end but with all 25 players getting a game and a meal together after the game it was an ideal team day out just before championship starts. 18 Sep Wicklow Championship Blessington BYE.
