UNDER 14
Our under 14 team were narrowly beaten by Patrickswell in the opening round of the county Féile na nGael on a scoreline of 1-2 to 0-2. This is a young team that will now focus their attention on the league and championship.
Our U14 football team had a great 1 point win against a fancied Claughan team in the opening round of Péil na nÓg on Sunday 25th February. Throughout the game there was no more than a score between the teams and in the last 5 minutes the lead changed 3 or 4 times. They showed great heart to see the game out and set up a quarter final game against Ahane. Best of luck to the team and mentors in the next round.
