Blackhall Gaels' return to the Senior A grade ended in disappointment on Tuesday evening when the visitors Kiltale spoiled the party as they pushed on to win, 2-12 to 0-10.

Blackhall Gaels will contest this year's championship without some of their familiar players but the Gaels will use this opportunity to blood and expose some of their younger players to the highest grade and build from there.

It took the homeside much of the first half to come to terms with their opponent's and found themselves trailing 0-7 to 0-2 at the break.

The Gaels fared much better in the second period scoring 8 points but unfortunately the slow start proved costly and the Gaels went down 2-12 to 0-10. The Gaels must dust themselves down as they take on Kilmessan in the next round this Saturday.

Blackhall Gaels - Emily Kelly, Orla Flynn, Ann Murphy, Mia McCann, Helen Murphy, Kristina Troy (0-4), Leela O'Reilly, Niamh Keane, Niamh McDermot, Olivia O'Mahony, Jane Mangan, Sarah King (0-4), Aileen Coyle, Claire Burke, Sinead O'Loughlin (0-2).

Subs - Maeve Walsh, Niamh Dunne, Ciara Whitty, Eamha Ledwith, Abbie Flynn
