U12 GirlsOur U12 girls hosted Shannonside/Tarbert yesterday evening in the final county go games match of the programme. Shannonside/Tarbert were unfortunately down some players due to injury and illness and some of our girls volunteered to play with them. The first half was dominated by our opponents where we struggled to get the ball into their half, albeit playing into a stiff breeze.
However, we dominated the second half kicking some great scores from a wide range of players. Many thanks to Shannonside Tarbert for coming to Blennerville, to referee Frank McLoughlin who was excellent, letting the game flow.
A big thanks to Kacey, Eve, Rachel, Ria, Cara and Sibah who volunteered to play with Shannonside Tarbert. Training continues on Sunday from 11am to 12pm.
We trained on Sunday morning in lovely sunshine. We started the session with prison boxes, then a possession game, then a shooting drill followed a small, sided game with Rachel’s team getting the better of Rosa’s. We have no training next Sunday due to the family fun day taking place.
