Full scale work outs
7.1.11
Over 35s 2, Saturday lads 5
A good work out on grass where the seniors took a two goal lead within ten minutes, but then conceded an og. After a hopeless start, completely lacking in intensity, gradually the younger lads got on top and added four goals (and a missed penalty) to come out on top.
With seven subs rotating, the extra energy proved decisive for the saturday lads as the seniors, with a smaller squad, faded somewhat in the heavy conditions.

8.1.11
Sunday X1 2, Sat X11 5
A number of Saturday players opted to stay in bed for this work out, so the side was bolstered by the addition of Alex Kenny and Barry Crowe to make up a 12 v 11 game. Perhaps on this performance Barry could be persuaded to do a Paul Scholes?
Those of the Saturday lads who made football a low priority may come to regret the decision as there were a number of convincing performances to build up a 4 goal lead against the (very) sluggish Sunday lads with goals by Niall Lennon 2, Steve Walsh and Derek Ruxton.
As for the Sunday boys, who also had a few missing in action, they lacked energy and cohesion and were easy prey, giving away goals through a series of errors. A late comeback attempt reduced arrears to 4-2, as Steve Grier and Graham Breen scored, while Seamus McCahill hit the post, but a last minute Jose Vargas goal completed the rout.
