Under 13 and 14
We kicked off the season for the under14 football team on Sunday morning the 8th March with a good display against Ring. We played some good open football and ended up deserving winners. Our next game in this competition is against Clashmore. We all wish DJ Kiely a speedy recovery as he broke his wrist during this game.
Meanwhile our under13 football side played their first game of the championship over the weekend going down in a close match to a stronger Nire team.

Under 16
Our under16 football team played their second game of the county championship on Sunday morning last against St. Pat’s. On the day our team never really got going and lost out to a stronger more determined St. Pat’s side on the day.

Minor Football
This Sunday morning we play Gaultier in Gaultier at 11am in the County Championship.
