Cormac Gilsenan & Johnny Reilly through to Club Juvenile final
Gilsenan and Reilly reach final
The semi-finals of the Crossakiel Juvenile championship was played in Moylagh last evening. Cormac Gilsenan caused another shock in these championships when defeating a fancied Gary Reilly in 2 games by 15-7, 15-14. Reilly it has to be said was recovering from an illness last week and this had a major bearing on the match as his normally high energy levels dropped. He was well in control of game 2 and was serving to bring the match to a tie breaker. However Gilsenan’s great battling display come to the fore and he came back strongly from being 7-14 behind and amazingly took the match by the minimum 15-14 in the end.
In the 2nd semi-final there was a drama between Johnny Reilly & Conor Rice. Reilly took the 1st game by 15-9. Game 2 was very evenly contested but somehow from somewhere Rice dug deep and even with the lights going out he still managed to hold his nerve to win an exciting game 2 just edging it by the minimum 15-14. In the tie breaker Reilly rallied again and just had that little bit extra to win a thrilling tie breaker by 11-7
The club will run a presentation evening for all our juvenile handballers, in Moylagh, starting at 7 p.m. This will involve training as usual, mini-games, a presentation and then the chance to watch the juvenile club final of 2011. The final between Johnny Reilly & Cormac Gilsenan is scheduled for an 8 p.m. start.

The top 8 Juvenile players have entered and it will be an intriguing contest to see who will be confirmed club champion for 2011. On their day any of the 8 players can win out and trying to pick a winner will be difficult. On current form however it will hard to look beyond Gary Reilly & James Baugh. Gary Reilly teams up with Johnny Reilly Jnr this weekend as they take on Dublin’s Corey Fay & Cian O’Dalaigh in the Leinster U-17 doubles final while James Baugh takes on Kilkenny’s Dylan Walsh in the U-17 singles final. Johnny Reilly v James Baugh looks like the pick of the quarter final draws. Depending on what develops in Ballymore Eustace on Sunday when both players are in action there could be a shock on the cards with Baugh maybe just edging it. Gary Reilly may have that little bit extra when he takes on Ricky McDermott. Jack Tunney takes on Conor Rice in another q-final which looks sets to go down to the wire with Jack Tunney getting the nod in this one, while in the remaining quarters Cormac Gilsenan is tipped to do just enough to get past Killian McCaffrey. The semi-finals are down for decision on Monday 21st March in the club with the final for the following Monday with an 8 p.m. start. Overall predication James Baugh to beat Gary Reilly but only just.
The Club will soond be organising mini-league games for all the Juveniles currently playing. It will be a league based competition and who knows more talent within the club could be unearthed. It is certain to be an exciting club league competition and good luck to all the Club Juvenile players taking part.

Big test for Crossakiel club players in Leinster finals.
Crossakiel club players are involved in 2 Leinster finals this weekend. James Baugh is the club’s 1st player into action when he takes on Dylan Walsh son of the legendary Michael “Ducksy”Walsh of Kilkenny handball fame. Baugh faces an uphill battle as he takes on Walsh who won the 15 & Under USHA title 2 years ago. Baugh beat Louth’s Brian Collins in round 1 and received 2 byes to reach Sunday’s final. The young Crossakiel player is doing well in training and will no doubt give it everything in the Meath colours on Sunday. Walsh will start as favourite but Baugh will rise to the occasion and could take the scalp of the Kilkenny player in what could be an absorbing encounter.
Our U-17 doubles also face a difficult assignment as they take on Dublin’s Corey Fay & Cian O’Dalaigh. The Dubliners were beaten in the U-15 doubles All-Ireland semi-final in 2009 and were Leinster runners-up last year. Gary Reilly & Johnny Reilly Jnr had an excellent 21-14, 17-21, 11-6 win over a fancied Darren Lambert & James Maddock of Wexford in the provincial semi-final. The club’s dynamic duo have every possibility of recording another historic victory here. A close contested is expected and with the large club support behind them all the way it may just be enough to carry them to victory.
