Under 11 Boys – Our latest match saw us play St. Senan’s on a chilly Thursday evening away in Mountcoal. We enjoyed two free flowing games and were proud of the way our boys performed on the evening. As always the Mitchels boys were not found wanting and displayed their skills admirably.
We had one or two injuries going into the game and sustained a few more minor injuries in the games so hopefully those boys will heal fast. A big thank you to all the parents who travelled with their children.
We saw the return of training on grass on Sunday which can only see our boys improve going forward. Parents will receive details of the next match for this age group via Whatsapp. Training resumes on Sunday. Until then kids are encouraged to practice their ball skills at home.
