In the "A" pool Parnells beat Warwickshire White Gaa by 2 goals and 4 points. The final score being 3-8 to 1-4 in favour of Parnells whilst the Pool "B" results were that North London Shamrock were victorious over St Kiernans in a tense game with NLS winning the game 3-4 to 2-1.U14's Div 2 next where Gael Londain played a semi final first against TCG where after an early score Gael Londain went on to be winning at half time by 6 goals and 1 point to one point. Final score was 9 goals 7 points to 1 goal and 3 points. This meant that Gael Londain would play St Clarets in the final to win the division 2 title. St Clarets had beaten Gael Londain on their two previous meetings. Gael Londain won by three points in a great game of football and it was won with a last gasp penalty save by Gael Londain to prevent extra time. A great day of Gaelic Football at our 2nd Blitz..
