Juvenile Notes - 26th October

U8 & U9 Parish Football League
We had a lovely autumn evening for rounds 3 and 4 of our football league on Friday last 21st October. It was the very first occasion of playing under the flood lights for all the players and everyone really enjoyed the experience. The two (2) rounds produced some very competitive football and we had eight keenly contested games, producing a total of 96 scores over the hour. We had a visit by two (2) former Academy players, Shane Ahearne & Seamus Ryan, and all the players appreciated their input. The Fenians maintained their 100% record winning their games against Pearses & Cuchulains. One of the most keenly contested games was Cuchulains versus Sarsfields, with Cuchulains edging it by 2 points (4-4 to 4-2). Sarsfields have been improving every game and could yet cause a major upset. O’Donovan Rossa beat Wolfe Tones in game 1; however Michael Davitts turned the tables on them in the 2nd game (5-3 to 5-0). Davitts claimed their 3rd win when they had a 3 point win over Na Fianna. Wolfe Tones recovered from their loss against O’Donovan Rossa to claim 2 pts against Na Fianna in round 4, whilst Pearses claimed their 2nd win when they accounted for Sarsfields. Fenians top the table with 8pts; Wolfe Tones & Davitts are tied at 2nd with 6pts each. Pearses are in fourth place with 4pts, followed by Na Fianna, O’Donovan Rossa & Sarsfields. It’s still all to play for, with three rounds being played off on Friday evening next 28th October. Throw in for Round 5 will be at 6pm & activity will run on until approx 7:30pm.

Under 13
On Friday night last we hosted St Marys Clonmel for the annual Rose Lanigan Perpetual Trophy. On the night a very competitive game ensued with our own lads coming out on top in the end. We would like to thank St Marys for travelling down on the night to fulfil the fixture. Also thanks must go to Joe Cleary, Brid, Aileen and Niamh for all their help on the night and for making sure everything ran smoothly. We would also like to thank the parents who brought along biscuits and cakes which all went down a treat on a cold evening in Abbeyside. Lastly to our players and mentors a big thank you must go as this brings the curtain down on their playing season. Well done to all.

Under 15
We were due to play Ring last night Tuesday in the Under 15 Football Championship but at the time of print the result of this match was not known but will be included next week. We are also due to play two rounds of this championship next weekend where we are due to take on Dungarvan and Ring again. Best of luck to all involved.
