Super-Leagues U-6/7 2005 Results

Under 6's and Under 7's - results

Finals Sept 24th, 2005

The C3POs emerged victorious in the Star Wars final against the Darth Vaders after a superlative display by seven year old Captain Tadhg Deasy and David Dalton. The brave Vaders led by Captain Sean O'Callaghan did their very best and finished strongly. 

The Inter Galactic Final was captured by the Jedi Knights commanded by John O'Sullivan which had a hard fought victory over favourites R2-D2s led by Mark O'Leary. There was just a goal in it at the end! 

The Empire Cup Final turned up another surprise when the Siths surprised the Droids and ran out on top by 3 --- 2 to 2 --- 0. The Siths were ably lead by an inspirational Jacob Buckley while the leadership of John O'Shaughnessy for the Droids was excellent. 

The Federation Cup Final went to the Naboos who were just ahead of the Skywalkers at the final whistle. Naboos Captain Mark Cunningham led by example and Mark Morton for the Skywalkers was also a class act.

Round 3 Sept 17th, 2005

Darth Vaders 7 --- 2 Naboos 4 --- 0

The end result of this game does not reflect the brave challenge by the Naboos to the table topping Vaders. It was only in the final minutes that the Vaders pulled away. Simon O'Brien, Sean Lynch and Colm Walsh were outstanding for the Vaders, while Hugh Brien, Kieran De Saulles and Mark Madden put up a brave display for the Naboos.

Jedi Knights 4 --- 1 Droids 2 --- 0.

The Knights have a very power team with Sean Connell, Carl Brazier, Cian O'Brien and William Cogan playing very well at present, they will take some stopping in the Inter-Galactic Cup Final next Saturday. The Droids were disappointed after their brilliant win last weekend, however Billy White, James O'Leary and Eoin O'Leary can be very proud of their great efforts.

Skywalkers 4 --- 2 Siths 4 --- 0 

This was a hard fought game with the Skywalkers pulling off their first success in the "Star Wars" league with an unexpected victory. Stars on the morning were Conor Twomey, Ryan Coleman, and Cian Sheedy O'Sullivan. The Siths tried very hard and were unlucky not to get the all-important final goal. Declan Donovan, Evan O'Donnell, Steven Coughlan and John Bourke gave fabulous displays of hurling.

C-3POs 5 --- 3 R2-D2s 3 --- 1.

The C-3s continued on their winning ways with a good victory to qualify for the "Star Wars" Cup Final. Displaying some first class hurling the C-3s were powered to this win by Luke Guerin, Cian Cashman, and Colin Rea. The R2-D2s despite this loss qualify for the Galactic Cup Final with the Knights… some game in prospect! Ronan Buckley, Paul Kennedy and Thomas Fitzgerald were excellent.

Round 2 Sept 10th, 2005

Another huge crowd turned up at Church Road last Saturday for the second round of the Carey Tool Hire sponsored Blackrock Super Leagues for 6 and 7 year old boys ( born 1998 and 1999). With young boys seeking to emulate their hurling heroes such as Wayne and John, Sean Og, Joe Deane and the Rock, the action was fast and furious.

Results: 

Darth Vaders 7 --- 0 Jedi Knights 4 --- 2 

The Vaders made it two in a row when they overcame the strong challenge of last weeks winners, the Jedi Knights. Paul Buckley, Sean Cormack and Killian Buckley had fantastic games for the Vaders while Tadhg Adams, Luke Ryan and Joe Golden were brilliant for the Knights who take on the refreshed Droids next weekend.

R2-D2s 3 --- 1 Skywalkers 1 ---- 3. 

This was a really competitive game with the result in doubt right up to the end. Despite scoring 3 points the luckless Skywalkers could not bridge the gap in a gripping finish. Rodhrai Crowley, Alex O'Carroll, Aaron Ahern played well all through while Dylan McCarthy, Mark Morton and Cillian Hanley were excellent for the Skywalkers.

C3POs 6 --- 0 Siths 4 --- 0. 

The favourites were lucky to survive the strong challenge posed by the Siths; however the C3P0s will take some beating. Liam Grainger, Alex Chandler and Donagh Gribbon put on a classy display for the winners while James Daly, Barry O'Flynn and David Higgins were outstanding for the Siths.

Naboos 5 --- 0 Droids 6 --- 0. 

The Droids bounced back this week with a very strong team, however the Naboos fought very hard and could have forced a draw. John O'Shaughnessy, Andrew O'Riordan and Desmond Doran were to the fore on this occasion, while Killian O'Sullivan, Owen Sheridan and Benjamin O'Connor are class acts for the Naboos.

The action continues next week with the Knights meeting the Droids in what should be a great contest, the Naboos take on the Vaders, while the R2-D2s tangle in a top of the table clash with the C3POs. The Siths and Skywalkers also meet. The action begins at 10 am! The finals will be held on Saturday 24th September.

Round 1 Sept 3rd, 2005

The Blackrock Super league 6 and 7s The Blackrock Under 6 and 7 super leagues commenced with over 100 young Rockies involved in 8 teams.

Results;

Darth Vaders 5 --- 2 Droids 3 --- 1.

The Darth Vaders with Sean O'Callaghan, Eoghan O'Shea, and Diarmuid Cormack in tremendous form overcame the very strong challenge of the Droids for which John O'Shaughnessy, Ross Kiernan and Luke Tarbatt tried very hard. Should be some inter galactic battle next weekend as the Darth Vaders take on the Jedi Knights!

Naboos 5 --- 0 Jedi Knights 7 --- 2

The Knights with some superb hurling from John O'Sullivan, Tiernan Mc Keown and Jack Murray were superior on the morning for the luckless Naboos for which Mark Cunningham, Daniel Dunphy and Conor Shaloo can feel very proud of their efforts.

C3P0s 5 --- 2 Skywalkers 2 --- 4.

Sean Desmond, David Dalton and Tadhg Deasy showed some great hurling skills as the C3P0s won out against the Skywalkers for whom Ciaran Kearney, James Canning and Cillian Hanley were excellent. On the basis of this display the POs must be among the favourites to capture honours later on.

R2D2s 3 --- 0 Siths 3 --- 0

This was an amazing match in which the R2D2s and Siths finished level at three goals each. Mark O'Leary, Mark O'Keeffe and Aaron Ahern were outstanding for the D2s while they were matched for hurling skills by Jacob Buckley, David Hurley and Luke Maher for the Siths who will have their work cut out with the C3P0s next weekend.

The second round fixtures will be played on Saturday 10th September starting again at 9.50am. Jedi Knights V Darth Vaders.

Naboos V Droids.

R2-D2s V Skywalkers.

Siths V C3P0s.
