U8/U10/GIRLS
We continued our mid week sessions on Wednesday last.
The girls were outstanding as we focused on kicking for the session and the girls improvement is obvious.
We ended with a very well contested game where the tackling and team work on show was very pleasing for the coaches.
Keep up the good work girls!
The Mitchels U8 girls played 2 x 6 sided matches against St Pats of Blennerville.
All the girls put in very strong performances. A few of the U7 girls helped out in the matches also.
The drills in the training sessions are definitely evident and the team work was excellent. Keep up the good work and attendance. Thank you to everyone involved.
The U10s hosted St Pats on Sunday on a perfect morning for football.
Our girls took a few mins to settle but soon got going in a very evenly contested game.
All the girls played really well and it is great to see the hard work in training paying off.
There was some great football on show and the coaches are very proud of all the girls who are a credit to the club.

U12 Girls.
The John Mitchel’s under 12 girls played their fifth game in this season’s County football league against a very spirited and tough Southern Gales team last Friday evening.
The wind made playing conditions very difficult but the girls managed to go in at half time one point up after playing against a very stiff breeze in the first half.
We began the second half very brightly and scored a goal and three points without reply, which put us into a commanding lead which we would not relinquish.
Congratulations to all the girls for a great performance. The coaches are extremely proud of you all.
