Good morning folks
For the last few days Eamon has been casting a wary eye on the European Youth championships.
The Irish team of
1. John Connolly
2. Michael Donnolly
3. Nathan Doyle
4. Stephen Barr
5. Jarlath McDonnell
6. Conor Farrell.
sprinted out of the starting blocks with almost 68 VPS out of the first 100.
All going well so far but one noted the goalkeeper was leaking at the same time.
The next 100 VPS unfortunately saw Ireland only adding another 16 VPS.
16 per cent return is not too good but according to Facebook the team remained upbeat.
Round 11 saw a drilling from GERMANY
Round 12 saw a medium loss to SLOVAKIA.
Day 4 TUESDAY started with 2 wins but then ITALY AND NORWAY piled on the AGONY.
A 3 point haul from these 2 matches left IRELAND struggling in 20th place of 23.
..............................................
Now before we get too bothered about these results we need to understand that 90% of this field are damn good players. The kind of player who would easily be dominant in the top Dublin clubs. Those clubs are probably still the BANKERS and the REGENT.
Recently Eamon has been playing 16 board challenges against Kelan O'Connor and I have been shipping about 1.5 imps a board out on average. So Eamon is losing each match by about 16-4.
The IRISH team is doing better than Eamon as they are averaging about 7.5 per match.
So now they got to start winning some matches and so does EAMON..
KELAN BEWARE as the tide is going to turn.
Unfortunately for IRELAND YOUTH they just got pole-axed in the first match today ..

Meanwhile Eamon has been playing a few boards against Wilsopd ..
and I probably am in a losing position at this stage
Eamongall v Wilsopd
