Rebecca Shields & Emily Sheridan Fox Meath great comeback not enough to down the Dubs
“Blue evening” for Crossakiel players in Leinster championships
There was no success for Crossakiel players in the Meath colours as both teams faced strong Dublin opposition in the Leinster Juvenile A 60 x 30 championships played this evening in Crossakiel. Crossakiel’s Rebecca Shields making her debut partnered Emily Sheridan Fox in the Girls U12 doubles but lost out to Niamh Rock & Niamh Gleeson from the capital. The girls were over run in game one but amazingly were in front 12-11 in game 2 before Dublin got the last 4 winning scores to put an end to the Meath girls great comeback.
The U17 doubles pair of James Baugh & Gary Reilly were easily brushed aside by Dublin’s Cian O’Dalaigh & Corey Fay. Johnny Reilly & Gary Reilly were defeated by the Dublin duo in this year’s Leinster U-17 doubles 40 x 20 final. It was expected that Baugh & Reilly would put it up to the Sky Blues in the big court but disappointedly it never materialized. Fay & O’Dalaigh ran out comfortable winners in the end. So it is back to the drawing board for the young Crossakiel players. Club Coach Eugene O’ Reilly has plenty of work to do to get the players prepared for an assault in the Leinster B championships.
