Tough week for KBC teams
We start with our fantastic Divison 8 Ladies captained by Orla Brophy. Orla and her team mates Tersea McGlynn, Maeve Valroy and Lynda Murtagh were our only team to make it to a Dublin District Cup Final this year. Orla and the girls faced a young and determined Trinity College team in their finals which were held in Baldoyle Badminton Centre on Thursday February 14th. Unfortunately it wasn’t to be our girls' night and they were beaten 3-0 by the very energetic Trinity side. Our Ladies may have lost this one 3-0 but they are still our champions. Well done to Orla and her team on doing do well in the competition.
Also in action were the Div 5 Men who played Smith Nirvana twice in the one week in this very tight League. Smith Nirvana visited Vincent Coller and his team on Tuesday 19th February. Smith Nirvana are currently top of the section and were hoping to put a bit of daylight between themselves and second place Kilcullen and this they did, Vincent and his team suffered a rare defeat loosing to the opposition 3-1. In this match things could have gone either way with some very close sets.
The following day it was Kilcullen's turn to travel up to Smith Nirvana to try and get some revenge for their defeat the night before, again it wasn’t to be KBC’s night and were beaten 4-0 in another close and hard fought match. Even with these two defeats our men are still in with a chance with three matches left to play. Vincent and his team, John Mullen, Keith O’Neill and Oisin Egan have a home fixture against Kerela next on Thursday 7th March and good luck to the lads in their next match.
The Division 7 Men also had a tough time at home in their Dublin District League fixture against Roundwood with Ross Cloe and his team going down 3-1 on Thursday 21st of February. The KBC lads are currently second in their section on 12 points with a game in hand, but Roundwood are now also on 12 points. Still a lot to play for as the top two from each section go through to Quarter Final playoffs. The lads' next match is at home to Sheriff Street on Tuesday March 5th.
Finally the club would like to wish our Gr 2 Mix team captained by Murt Dunne best wishes in the South West League Final played in Carlow LT on Thursday 28th of February. The KBC team wil face the old enemy Baltinglass in what promises to be a great match. Here's praying that Murt and the gang can bring some more silverware back to the club.
