Féile Football
On
Saturday March 30th we hosted the
Division One qualifying for Feile Peile na nOg 2019 which will be held in
Connacht at the end of June. On a lovely day in Abbeyside we played the first
match of the day against Rathgormack which we won after a tough battle. Second
game after a 15 minute break we played Gaultier which they won fairly
comfortably as our boys tired after putting in a big effort to win the first
game. In the third match of the day Gaultier faced Rathgormack. For our lads to
qualify for the final we needed a Gaultier victory which they managed but
Rathgormack pushed them all the way. On to the final and we threw everything at
Gaultier and were losing by a point at half time. Second half the boys put in a
their best performance for many a day, we dominated possesion, created many
chances but falied to convert and ultimately lost by the point we trailed too
at half time. Best of luck to Gaultier as they now go on to represent Waterford
in the Feile finals. Our lads can be very proud of their efforts Saturday and when we meet our old rivals in the Us14 County Final
later this month we just might get over the line. Big thanks to all who helped
out with catering on the day, it was very much appreciated by all.
