U14s: We played against Latton on Saturday and played a great first half. We played well in the second half but the game got away when Latton got 2 goals. Training as usual Monday and Wednesday evenings.
U16s: We played Monaghan Harps in the championship last Thursday evening. We lost our influential midfielder Andrew woods to an innocuous black Card in the first 10 minutes. The team dug deep and continued to fight to the bitter end but were unable to win the game. A very good team performance considering the circumstances. We play St Patrick this Thursday evening 21st in Páirc Grattan at 7:30. Please come along and support the lads. Training as usual.
