Club Notes 15/06/10
Seniors – A solid display saw the seniors secure the points when they defeated Ballybay 1-11 to 1-07 on Friday night last. Blayney opened strongly and 4 scores from dead balls, 3 from Keith Hill and the other from Ciaran Hanratty, had them 4 up within 10 minutes. Ballybay improved as the half wore on and had wiped out the lead completely by half-time with the teams turning at 5 points apiece. Blayney opened the second half strongly and a goal from Ryan Treacy after good work from Ciaran Hanratty was followed quickly by a brace of Marty McElroy points. Ballybay were thrown a lifeline midway through the half when they were awarded a penalty which was duly dispatched to the net but with Gary Ward dominant at midfield Blayney remained on the front foot and further points from Hill(3) and McElroy to a single reply from Ballybay saw them home comfortably. The seniors travel to Carrickmacross next Wednesday evening for an 8.00pm throw-in, this game is a Star game.
Junior B – The Bs were defeated by Clontibret in a low-scoring encounter at St Marys Park last Wednesday night. After a promising start when Brendan McElroy and Niall Duffy pointed Blayney were rocked when a scoring burst of 1-2 from Clontibret saw them take the lead. The teams traded further points before half-time, Blayneys coming from Aidan Ward, to leave Clontibret 3 to the good at half-time. Three early second half points from Brendan McElroy wiped out the deficit before Clontibret edged in front again. It remained nip and tuck the whole way through the second half but despite two more points from the excellent McElroy Clontibret held on for a one point win, Faughs 0-09 Clontibret 1-07. The Bs now have only two league games remaining and must win both of them to ensure qualification for the semi-final stages.
