Well said Bookie.

Baltinglass club heading in right direction at all levels Adult, Juvenile and Ladies.

Intermediate team will only boost chances of dominating Wicklow football for a considerable period. This is all based on some excellent coaching at underage.

Perhaps cornerback4 your own club are one of the ever decreasing clubs who have not invested in coaching your juveniles if so I can see where your attitude comes from. Enter at the lower grade to ensure a CHEAP medal.

This could not be said for a progressive club like Baltinglass.

What a ridiculous post Cornerback. Just because St Pats didn't do themselves much justice when they won the Junior A 2 years back, doesn't mean Balto will follow suit. I would imagine the max amount of players (if any) that will hang up the boots would be 3/4. As mentioned, they have a young Junior B team also. From memory of watching Balto in the earlier stages, they lost about 4/5 to their senior panel, Mikey English being one. Maybe we should set up a thread "Congratulations Baltinglass"?

Credit to Balto - Winning jun A and in senior final is a great achievement.

As much as I admire Baltinglass,

Cornerback4. is entitled to make this point.
Last time Baltinglass won the Junior A in 2004
they were allowed to regrade the complete team to
Junior B for the following year, they then proceeded to win
the Junior B championship in 2005 with KO'B playing
a central role.........
Abit unfair on the other teams in JBFC that year..

In 2004 after a strong baltinglass team win the junior A championship they asked to be re- graded to junior b so Kevin o brien could win a junior b medal. It made a mockery of the championship cause my team Newcastle were by far the strongest team in the junior b section at the time but they got beat by baltinglass in the junior b final,

Skits,
The Keboard warrior's that ambushed Cornerback4
for making a valid point are very quiet now, no defending
the indefensible I suppose.....
Some of that Junior A team moved up to the senior panel the
following year, but the majority merged with the existing B team
& proceeded to beat every team out of sight the following year...
