PEIL FAOI 15: (i) Here is our U15 Central League (A and B teams) schedule for this week:
(a) U15A…Sunday July 7th v Na Gaeil in Connolly Park. Yes, a disappointing start to our Central League campaign! Unfortunately, we went down by a single point…2-9 to 2-8. We were trailing by 0-5 at one stage in the 1st half but stormed back into the game in the 2nd half before being pipped late on by that single point. However, our lads showed great heart as shown by their brilliant 2nd half fightback. The Rock squad: Jayden O’Dowd; Mark Riordan, Óran O’Donoghue, Ryan O’Carroll; Fionn Cotter, Eoin Mangan, David Hobbert; Jamie Casey, Darragh Lyons; Hawlie Cotter, Harry Murphy, Ryan O’Flatherty; Danny Lane, Jack Delaney, Denis Brassil; Joe de Barra, David Ahern, Kyle Yoxall, Noah Reidy.
(b) U15A…Wednesday July 10th v Laune Rangers in Connolly Park. Well played, boys!
(c) U15B Boys…Friday July 12th v Laune Rangers in Killorglin. Fingers crossed!
(d) And on Wednesday evening July 17th we’ll travel west…siar amach go Gallarus…to take on An Ghaeltacht. Gach ádh ar ár mbuachaillí!
NB: As always watch out for group messages for fixture and training updates.
