The girls put in a fantastic effort in the glorious sunshine on Sunday last.
The 15 girls went straight into a warm up by working on hand passing and calling for the ball.

To finish the session they played game and the football on show was outstanding.

UNDER 15 BOYS
On Wednesday evening last we made the long journey to Templenoe to play Templenoe/Tuosist Derrynane/Sneem combined.
In the first half we found ourselves 6pts behind but the boys dug deep in the second half to claw it back and go 2pts in front.
The fighting spirit from the boys was a joy to watch but deep into injury time we conceded a late penalty to see us lose by a single point.
Unfortunately we were not the victors on the night but that’s football.
The boys left everything out there and deserve a lot of credit for their efforts.
Well done to team and mentors and the crack on the way back on the bus was brilliant with some great singers.
Football is about fun and enjoyment and not all about winning we took a lot of positives from the game and were happy how the lads played and behaved.
We will train again on Wednesday evening 5-30pm Na Misteallaig Abu.
