Under 10
With 6 weeks training under our belt we started the
Western Under 10 Football League. With a big panel we divided our squad to
enter two teams so all the lads would get equal playing time. First up we
travelled to Cappoquin and played very good football in windy and boggy under
foot conditions. Unfortunately our game against the Nire was called off due to
the conditions in Ballymacarbry. We will play this at a later date. The weekend
just gone we welcomed Lismore & Ballyduff Upper to Abbeyside. Again we played
very well against Lismore and a big thanks to all our boys who helped out
Lismore by lining out for them as they were short a few players. In the other
game Ballyduff were strong and our boys battled hard for every ball. The panel
who've played to date are Billy O
Connell, Brian Callaghan, Cathal Sweeney, Conor Gough, Cormac Dunne Fitzgerald,
Daniel Morrisey, Darragh Cosgrave, Darragh Walsh, Ethan Keohan, Fionn O Murchu,
Jack O Donovan, Jake Fitzgerald Drummy, Jake O Donnell, Kieran Cosgrave, Sam
Phelan, Sean Queally, Sean Walsh. Thanks to Cal Tutty from the U9 panel who
togged out against Ballyduff, we had a couple of lads away and a couple sick.
We have plenty more games to play in this league so we look forward to
welcoming back the few yet to play. Training continues Friday night 6 till 7
unless you hear otherwise.
