U13 LADIES:
We played in the Sandra Keane North Kerry ladies U13 blitz last Saturday in our own grounds. We were down a few players and weather conditions were testing during the day but our girls battled all the way through group stage where we played Ballymac Crokes and Rathmore. We played Ballyduff in the semi final of the plate competition. This was a tight game with the wind playing a major part and we came through a tight game to qualify for the final where we met Castlegregory. This was a very tight game with scores difficult to come by with the strong wind playing a major role. Half time we were 2 points down against the wind . The second half saw Mitchels dominate the game and pull it back to a draw. With minutes to go disaster struck when a rare attack by Castlegregory ended in a goal and despite Mitchels throwing everything at Castle we couldn’t breach their defence and went down in the end by a goal.
The girls gave a terrific display and never gave up and were a credit to the club. Congratulations to our own Lauren Smullen won the player of the Plate Final. The U13 s now have Co Shield Final v Crokes coming up so this will stand to them.
