U12 GIRLS:
We continued on our winning ways during the week with 2 excellent wins firstly last Tuesday we played against neighbours Na Gael away in a thrilling game which saw us win by the smallest of margins. We then played Beale Ballyduff on Thursday in Mitchels. Again the wind affected the play but our girls won out in the end.
We have now finished joint top of the League Div 2 with Kerins O Rahillys so we now play Rahillys in a league final to decide the outright winner of the league.
This game is on Monday May 1st at 1pm in Connolly Park. These players and their managers Edward and Tony have put in a huge effort.
All support welcome.
