Under 14 Girls – Congratulations to our U14 Girls who lifted the County League U14 Division 5 Shield on Sunday in Ballyseedy.
It was a fantastic team performance from the 22 girls who lined out in the Green and Gold and the club and coaches Brian Denis and Billy are extremely proud of the effort and dedication that these amazing girls have shown since we returned to training in February.
We led the game from the first whistle and it was a fantastic defensive display from the Mitchels girls who went in 3 points up at half time after playing against a stiff breeze.
The second half was extremely tight and it was score for score until the final 10 minutes when we scored 1-02 without reply to win the game by an eight point margin.
Final score John Mitchels 4-07 Shannonside Tarbert 2-05
It was fantastic for the girls to be a part of a Super Sunday of U14 County league finals and well done to the Kerry LGFA for running such a fantastic day.

Under 11 Boys – We played Ardfert away on Thursday night and enjoyed two competitive games played in windy conditions. Our older boys enjoyed an intense encounter with some evenly contested exchanges. Our younger boys took a while to get going but enjoyed a better 2nd half. Well done to all and many thanks to Ardfert for hosting.
We trained as usual on Sunday. We started off with a short kicking drill before splitting the boys into three groups. We finished the session with two games. It’s fair to say the boys were tired given the warm conditions but their commitment cannot be questioned.
We play Milltown/Castlemaine in our final phase 2 game this Thursday away. Parents will be advised of details via WhatsApp.
We will train again on Sunday at 10:30. New members always welcome.
Under 13 Boys – After our U13 heroics from 2 weeks ago the Green team returned to action in the Town League against Division 1 county champions Na Gaeil in Kileen.
From the get go our intensity in the tackle and running off the shoulder was impressive and our opponents found it hard to match our efforts. A Mikey Sheehy like goal from Mikey Fitzpatrick over the head of the Na Gaeil keeper from a free, gave us a well deserved lead at half time .
We kicked on in the second half and but for some wayward shooting and some fantastic saves from the Na Gaeil keeper we would have been well ahead. In the end we ran out deserved winners on a score line of 2-13 to 0-12.
Huge credit to the boys who put on an exhibition of football,Na Gaeil had beaten them convincingly in their last fixture , so a huge turnover and fantastic progression from our boys . Training continues Wednesday and Friday night this week.
Under 15 Boys – Training continues on Mondays at 7pm as we await fixture details.
