U14 LADIES:
We opened our North Kerry League campaign away to Castlegregory last Friday evening in ideal weather conditions. We started slowly in the game and conceded 2 early goals which had us chasing the game throughout but it was heartening to see our girls never gave up and battled right up to the final whistle going down by 1 goal on a final score of 5-12 to 6-06. This was a very good performance by a very young team who were short of a number of players.
