Congratulations to the Wicklow Minors on their win over Laois in the Leinster league last Saturday 2-05 to 1-06. Well done especially to our lads from the club, Mikey O’Connor, Thomas Donohoe, Kyle Geraghty, Ian Richardson and Daragh Ryan. Congratulations to the Wicklow team on beating Clare in a very exciting match last Sunday. Well done to our club lads Anto and Mick McLoughlin and Barry Murphy.
The only club match that was played last week was the Baile Coimin (U14C) who played away to Kilcoole last Wed evening (11 Apr). As it was mid term there was a shortage of U14 players and the panel was made up of a mixture of available U14s and U12s. The team battled against a very good Kilcoole side and were beaten heavily. The lads never gave up and the match provided an insight for our U12′s as to what it is like to play the next step up. Our U12′s play at home to Eire Og Greystones on Mon 16 Apr in the 2 round of the mini league. The Baile Coimin team play at home (18 Apr) to AGB 2 while our U14 A team play away to AGB 1. Next week on Monday (23 April) our U12′s play away to AGB in the football mini league Round 3 (Group 1). Our U16′s play at home on the same night to Bray Emmetts.
