Feb 7th: U11 Div 7: Temple 2, Blarney U11Bs 1

30/Jan: U14 LC: Blarney 2, Youghal 1

In an evenly matched contest, Blarney U14s came out the winners in their local cup tie with higher ranked Youghal. Youghal came into the game with a strong pedigree from their higher placed league but an opening 30 yard shot from Keith put the visitors on the back foot. Youghal regrouped and were unlucky not to score when their centre forward beat Blarney's on - rushing defenders but slid the ball wide of Cian's right hand post. Youghal got a deserved equaliser before the break with a move that started with their right back and finished with the ball clung into the bottom corner. A rash challenge from the Youghal's left back led to a free kick from well outside the 18 yard box. Up stepped Lorcan and with a looping right footed shot he nestled the ball high into the left corner of the Youghal net. Try as they did, Youghal were unable to get an equaliser and with some stout defending from Mark and Keith, Blarney held out for their 2-1 victory to advance to the next LC round.

5/Dec: U13 Prem: Blarney 0, College Corinthians 5

College Corinthians were well on top in the 1st half going in 3-0 at the break. Blarney battled back in the second half but 2 late soft penalties for Corinthians finished the game off. Best for Blarney was Wayne Shine who played a stormer. Click here for more U13 Premier team info.
