Also in Division 2 of the County League are Miltown, Desmonds, Kerins O’Rahillys so it will be a busy few weeks for the girls and best of luck to all the players, parents and management of Edward,Tony and Yvonne who have put in a huge effort already and now head into the County League.

U 14 LADIES:
Our game v Glenflesk went ahead last Monday in Ballyseedy and from the throw in Mitchels playing with the aid of a strong breeze dominated the game all over the field going in at the short whistle leading by 1-5 to 0-0. The second half was a tougher affair but Mitchels continued their dominance and in the end ran out winners by 1-9 to 0-2.
We now play Moyvane away in our last Co League match on Monday May 15th at 7 pm bus leaves Ballyseedy at 5.45pm.

Our last game in the League is against Beale/Ballyduff which will be the Shield final of the league. We are awaiting details of the fixture and will Teamer details to all players once date and venue is confirmed. Training has been going very well with full turnouts and we need everyone at training and matches.

U14 BOYS:
Out U14 team took on Milltown in the final round of the County League last Wednesday night in a must win game .
We started well and while we struggled to put scores on the board we went in at half time leading by 6 points to 1 with a Martin Laucher.

Milltown really came out fighting in the second half and were level within 5 minutes but we responded quickly with well taken goals from Martin Laucher and Jessie Duggan and helped by some outstanding defensive displays from
Darragh Murphy, Dan Bowler and Cormac Clifford we ran out deserved winners by 2-14 to 3-7.

It was hard to pick out anyone as this was by far our best team performance of the year but Darragh Murphy, Martin Laucher , Jessie Duggan and Cian O Se were to the fore throughout.

We now face table toppers Kilgarvan/Tousist in the semi final with time and venue to be arranged.

U10s:
On Sunday we went to Na Gael to play two games and very competitive games they were. We started a bit slowly but as the game went on we improved and by the second game we were flying. Both teams put on great performances and great skill was shown by all the players.

Some of the tackling was superb and especially during the second half our passing and kicking tore the opposition wide open and we got some great scores. Well done to all the lads who played and remember we have Go Games on Thursday in Connolly Park, meet at 6.15 and remember gum shields, training again next Sunday.
