Mini 7s Champions 2017

Well done to our Mini 7s hurling team who won the Meath Hurling Mini 7s championship.

In a tough finals group with Rath Cairn, Kilskyre, Kilmessan and Dunboyne, Kildalkey had their work cut out.

They started against Rath Cairn. In a tight match, Kildalkey outpointed their opponents to victory, winning 0-7 to 1-1.

Next up was Dunboyne. Goals from Alex, Brian and James C meant a second victory was in hand.

Kilskyre were next up. A very tight match was in store. An excellent first half from Kildalkey meant they went in leading 2-0 to 0-1, with the goals from Alex and Ciarán. A very tight second half was in store. However, Caemerhon proved to be in inspired form in goals and Kildalkey scraped home by 2-2 to 1-3.

The last match was against Kilmessan. Knowing a victory would grant them victory, Kildalkey started brilliantly with scores from Brian, Alex and Ciarán putting them into a 2-1 to 1-1 lead at half time. Sterling defensive performances from the two joint captains, Seán Mc and Seán P kept the Kilmessan forwards at bay and ensured that Kildalkey would remain in front by the end. The final score was 3-2 to 2-2.

Well done to all ten panel players who played their part in the victory. The standard of hurling was very high throughout so they can be very proud of their achievement. Seán P and Seán Mc accepted the plaque on behalf of the team.

Mini 7s Participation

Well done to our our two Mini 7s teams who competed in the hurling and football Mini 7s competitions this week.

The girls were first out on Tuesday, 4th April. Captained by Robyn, they captured two great victories against Boardsmill and Ballivor with two excellent performances. Unfortunately, a superb Gaelscoil na Bóinne team proved to be a hurdle too far and they ran out winners on a scoreline of 5-3 to 3-1. The girls can feel very proud of their performances on the day.

Mini7s Camogie

The boys were out next on Thursday, 6th April. Captained by the two Seáns, they beat Kilbride, Ballivor and then beat St. Michael's Trim in a lively encounter. Thus, they qualified for the Mini 7s finals on Wednesday, 26th April in Dunganny. Well done to the boys today and best of luck in their finals.

MDL Soccer 2017

Well done to the boys and girls from 5th and 6th class who took part in the MDL soccer competition this year.

The boys played on Friday, 10th March. The A team, captained by Gareth, did extremely well winning two games by margins. The last match, against Yellow Furze, went the way of the Navan team but the boys can hold their head high. The B teams, backboned by many from 5th class, battled bravely but lost a couple of tight games by one goal margins. However, they will have learned from the experience and will look to go one better next year!

The girls played on Monday, 13th March. The A team were in a very difficult group. Though they did well to get a good draw with Ballivor, they lost both of their other games to very good teams.

The B team, again backboned by many from fifth class, made it through to the quarter finals. With Grace saving everything that came her way in goals and Caoimhe scoring many goals, they did extremely well and were unlucky to be beaten in the quarter finals.
