I will add the names of our brave players shortly.This is just a brief appreciation.Firstly I don't understand this competition.It is not the Championship but seemingly a League final of sorts.Seemingly we won the Div.2 LEAGUE and Trim won the Div.1 lEAGUE.This was a Superleague Final with Trim being the Natural favourites.And at least one Loughcrew Gael cheering on Trim (SEE PREVIOUS REPORT ). I expected our very young averaged aged team to get hammered. We were well able for them up until half timr on a score of 0-7 each.We held our own until the third quarter,when despite the bravest of resistance the better spread out skilled Trim crew forged into the lead and pulled away.We ran out of stamina but not spirit .We have maybe a half dozen players on the cusp of the age and equivalence skills.These lads did their upmost. The rest of our guys,who shave maybe weekly ,as opposed to the Trim guys,who would shave at least daily bust their collective guts.Tiochaid a La. Dundoire ABU. And fair dues to Trim.

. An interested cpectator was Oliver Carty ,whose father Nick scored 6 goals in the 1934 J.H.C.Final which we won.His son Oliver played with us and his grandson TADGH played with Trim on the day.
It has been brought to my attention that this Trim team have not been beaten ever and that a few of them ,with the encouragement of one of their supporters sneered at our guys when they pulled away from us.Our guys never do this.They are warned to behave as sportsmen. About 20 years age I brought teams to Trim and they could not field.tHERE YOU GO.
There will be a needle when we meet in the Championship later
Our Club is tight for money.Fair dues to the mentors who ponied up for Pizza and Chips in the Clubhouse afterwards.
