A very busy week on the rink following the break for the BLI Championships. On Tuesday last Division 4 made the trip to Sportslink and the locals, sporting a number of Junior BLI Championship winners, proved too strong. Division 5 maintained their grip on top spot after picking up 4 points away to CYM. The ladies travelled to Crumlin on Wednesday and the juggernaut from Dublin 12 proved to be a bridge too far. On Thursday Vets 1 suffered a surprise setback against Herbert Park but are still hanging tough at the top of the league. Vets 2 had a good win at home to CYM to keep their outside hopes of silverware alive. In a humdinger of a match in North Kildare Vets 3 stole 3 points to remain in top spot. Thanks to North Kildare for the wonderful hospitality before and after the game. Vets 4 were at home to CYM where the legend that is Pat Brett made his seasonal debut after a long term knee injury. Pat's heroics were not enough to carry the day. On Saturday, Division 1 took 5 points home from Dun Laoghaire where newcomers Brendan Adamson, Ritchie Doyle and Shane Martin contributed handsomely. Division 2 got 5.5 points at home to Crumlin which will help in their effort to avoid the dreaded drop.
This week sees Vets 1 and 3 at home to Crumlin and CYM respectively, whilst Vets 2 and 4 travel to Shankill and North Kildare. Saturday sees Division 1 travel to lock horns with CYM 'B' and Division 2 host Clontarf. Next Monday sees Division 4 make the short trip to Greystones and Division 5 have home advantage against Kenilworth.
The club championships are ongoing and some big fish have been reeled in and will be watching proceedings from the bank !! Never a dull moment.
