Leinster Under Twelve Blitz
Five teams from the league competed in the Leinster Under Twelve finals in the Oscar Traynor Complex on Saturday and after a long day of very intense games, Kilmore United have qualified for the National finals in the AUL next Sunday.Wins over Bailieborough, Trim Celtic and Bridge Rovers as well as a draw with Shelbourne of Dublin saw Kilmore qualify as runners up in their group with Becky Furlong and Cora Miller both excelling. Ballindaggin and Shelbourne also both did very well, finishing level on points in their group with Ballindaggin being graded higher as they had won the game between them one nil. However there was still confusion as to whether Ballindaggin had did enough to quailfy for the National finals and probably wont be known til midweek. Forth Celtic and Bridge Rovers also both competed and although they were not in contention for a place in the National finals, both sides put in creditable performances and will have learned from the experience.
