Thanks to everyone who helped make the morning a tremendous success. Well done to all the new boys and girls who came along. If there are other families who would like to bring their young son or daughter along please do so on Saturday morning, May 6th at 10am to McDonagh Park. We are very excited to see to see everyone again on May 6th at 10am to get busy having loads of fun & games on the astro.

Under 13 

Football:- The U13s had a busy week with 28 of our panel of 44 playing in North finals against Newport and Portroe. The rest of the panel play Ballina this coming Wednesday in the U13D final. The C panel came into the final after four great wins but came up against an excellent Portroe team. Some of the points kicked by Portroe were amongst the best we had seen in the U13 competition. Our boys battled to the end and never gave in. The A panel had a great battle with Newport. Newport had given the boys a lesson in football in the group stages. Newport scored a goal in injury time to level the game for the first time but the boys responded brilliantly to kick a late point to snatch the win. Great celebrations ensued and continued into MacDonagh Park where the boys enjoyed an ice cream. 

Training resumed on Friday night with the D panel preparing for Ballina and all the other panel members preparing for the county semi-final in a few weeks. New players always welcome, contact Niall on 087 4086439. Wishing the D team the best of luck in their final on Wednesday in Portroe at 6.30. The juvenile club would love to see all of our families & friends including our younger members out in their Éire Óg colours proudly cheering on our boys.
