So get your name in on Thursday for an inside look at the new Sports Facility.
Well Done to Largy College, both U16 and U19 teams competed in their VEC Ulster Semi-Finals on Thursday and Tuesday respectively, The U19’s travelled to Donegal and were beaten but performed with credit, the U16’s travelled to Lurgan and won well and are now into an Ulster Final this is a fantastic achievement for the team and their coach Mr Wixstead. These teams are made up from all the neighbouring clubs and they really enjoy their football together. They say that winning is a habit and certainly our lads are in the habit of winning lately, lets hope it continues and more silverware beckons.
Seniors: training continues on Sunday’s, Wednesday’s and Friday’s. There continues to be very strong numbers despite the miserable weather. New management of Mickey Slowey, Donal Quigley and Gerry Reihill continue to put the lads through their paces, and whilst far from the finished article there is definitely progress being made. We’ll take on Donaghmoyne away in the first match of the league on the 23rd March.
U16, Minor & Under21 Training starts up this week get your boots and contact your coaches for more details.
Under14 training continues every Tuesday in Killeevan.
Under12’s training continues this Saturday. A note to all players and parents that mouth-guards are now compulsory for all matches and training, they’re as important as the boots so na dearna sibh dearmad (Don’t Forget).
