There was an unmistakably upbeat feeling in the clubrooms after the match against St Bernard's - even after a disappointing loss that saw Old Trinity tumble out of the Four.

And the reason was simple - there were Kids in the Clubrooms!

This couple of (Ramsden??) kids were having a good ol' time and weren't at all fazed by the innumerable number of people who were just standing around and... talking!

 It was a good antidote to the events of the afternoon which saw Old Trinity go down to St Bernards by 28 points. Two goal-less quarters against the wind was the difference between the sides, and though not the worst performance of the year (by a very long shot!) it was one of the most galling.

All victories are worth 4 points, but some victories are worth a lot more - not least the ability to quieten the opposition supporters, who were numerous and LOUD on Saturday.

Now OT has to really work hard to make the finals and have another shot at the "Snakepit Snowdogs"! Good thing those kids were there to still the rankling spirit!

In the other matches, the Ressies only managed to score 2 goals for the game (to StB's 3) to go down by 12 points, while the Unders were leading by a goal at the last change but were held goal-less in the last to lose by 19 to Beaumaris.
