Parish League

A super end of season for St Pats Juveniles. We finished off our year with the hugely popular Parish Leagues where we had huge battles between “The West” “Dingle Way” “Windmill” and “The Bridge.”  We had two tournaments, one for our U8 and U10 girls and also our U9 and U11 boys.

After they paraded around the pitch following our fantastic Piper Leanne McCarthy, they played three rounds of football and then they played out a Shield Final and a President’s Cup final. We were delighted to have our Club President Christy Murphy and Ciara Butler our Kerry goalkeeper join us to give out the awards. We were joined also on the day by our Parish League sponsor Kieran O’Shea of O’Shea’s Gala in Blennerville.

We would like to congratulate all our players for a fantastic year of football and especially all our coaches for their huge efforts throughout the year.

U5’s

Thanks for supporting our end of season club day! We had a fantastic of under 5s for fun and games on the astroturf. They loved the parents getting stuck in with highly competitive sack races, 3- legged races and tug of war! We are delighted to have such a big group of under 5s this year. We urge you all to keep enjoying playing, running, jumping, hopping, skipping, and practicing ball skills over the winter. We hope you were inspired by Kerry Ladies Football star Ciara Butler who kindly game up her time to present the medals to all our juvenile players. Thanks so much to all the parents who helped with setting up, catering and clean up. It is very much appreciated. We look forward to welcoming more of you to our coaching team next year!!  Well done on a great season! Go St Pats!!
