BUACHAILLÍ FAOI 13/14: Seachtain an-bhroidiúil an-ghnóthach eile ag ár bpeileadóirí! What a busy week! Our Under 14s and 13s had games in the Central and Town Leagues.
(i) The Under 14s, minus a few ‘big guns’, had a comfortable win v Churchill in Division 1 of the Central League and they had a home game on Monday (20th) v Na Gaeil in Round 3. The 14s were captained by Charlie Curran who opened his account for the As with a pointed free. Another scorer of note was Danny Draghici who advanced all the way from the fullback position to also score his first ever point at this level. Great stuff, boys!
(ii) The Under 13s suffered a 0-5 defeat in Cillín v Na Gaeil but not after a rousing second half comeback in which they just came up short, faraor agus ochón!! In the first 25 minutes we conceded 4-0 and were 0-12 down at halftime but a much improved second period had the Gaeil on the back foot!
However, one can’t give a team of that quality such a lead! Ceacht foghlamtha! Lesson learned! Ben Quilter made two top class saves in the game and James Fernane created mayhem in around the square and was unlucky when at least two goal bound shots were blocked and cleared by the Milesian backs and keeper. Both Under 12 stars, Joey Nagle and Armin Heinrick, played superbly and, not to be outdone, Jordan Kissane kicked two lovely points.
(iii) Next on the menu is the Town League with an away match v Churchill on Thursday 23rd.
(iv) Under 13 training will take place at 5.30pm on Tuesday in Connolly Park. (v) Under 13/14 training will be held at 5.30pm on Friday in Connolly Park. (vi) Ní fada uainn Corn an Róis, a leaideanna!
