Under 14 Boys
Football A big
congrats and well done to our U14 boys team and their management who continued
on their winning ways on Thus last when they defeated St Patricks, Dromard in
the League semi-final by 10 – 3 to 3 – 9. On a wet evening which made good
football difficult our lads led by a few points at half time but they really
came into their own after the break when they scored some spectacular goals to
run out comfortable winners. They now await the winners of the other semi-final
which has yet to take place. Their form looks good ahead of the upcoming Feile
competition.
Junior Football; Our Junior team travelled across
town to Hazelwood last Friday to take on Calry-St Josephs in the Div 4 League
