U 16 LADIES:
We played Listowel on Thursday last in the North Kerry league in wet and windy conditions in a top of the table clash at Ballyseedy. This was a tight game from start to finish with every score hard to come by. In a very close first half we went in at half time all even at 1-1 to 4 points.
The second half continued to be a tough game and Mitchels tried hard to get ahead but Listowel were not going to give in and with the teams at 1-4 to 1-4 Listowel were awarded a penalty with the resultant kick going over the bar to give Emmets a point lead. Mitchels threw everything forward and despite hitting the crossbar and station could not get a winner.
Final score Mitchels 1-4 listowel 1-5. Well done to all the girls who put in a tremendous performance and well done to Listowel.We now play Beale /Ballyduff in the next round .

We played Kerins O Rahillys in our opening Town League game on Sunday in Ballyseedy and the girls shook off their defeat to Listowel last Thursday with a good win.
