The under 11B team hoped to go 1 better than the 11Cs last night but unfortunately they came up against a very fine Leinster side and were unable to win the trophy.  They did however put up a very good performance in every part of the game.  The team was led by Harry Oppermann and the other players were, Fintan Birch, Liam Fanning, Daniel O’Sullivan, Alex Finn, Mark Quinn, Sean Barry, David O’Mahony, Gareth Moriarty, Daire Vickers and sub fielder Andrew Synnott.  (see team photo in the photo tab) Special word of thanks to the manager John Barry for all his work during the season.

What a great week for the Under 11 squads which sees every team in that category still competitive in the final days of the season. 

Due to the afternoon rain and forecast for this evening, the Under 11B final has been postponed.  The refix date has been set and it will now take place on Friday 20th in Clontarf at 5pm.  See you then.

Sadly the Under 11C team lost their final to YMCA by the incredibly small margin of 5 runs this evening.  The game went to the very last ball in a very tense game which ebbed and flowed throughout.  The boys were a great credit to themselves and the club. Thanks to the excellent crowd to came to watch and cheer them on.  The team were Eoghan Doody (capt), Hugh Tobin, Pearse McKeon, Mark Tynan, Matthew Bellantani, Andrew Synnott, Brian Collins, Mark Duggan, Callum Buchan, David Vincent and Liam Ennis. (see photos tab for team photo)

The 11Bs play their final on Thursday at 5pm in Clontarf.

Well done to the Under 11C team who beat Railway Union to advance to the final, where they will play either The Hills or YMCA.  It was a fine all round team effort but the fielding was exceptional in very difficult conditions.  As soon as details of the final are known I will post them but dont forget that the Under 11Bs need your support on Tuesday night in Clontarf at 6pm against YMCA.
