Best of luck to the team and mentor Mazie, Mark and J.T. Details of the final will be known by mid-week.
U16 Boys – The U16s played St Pats on Thursday evening last in Strand Rd in the third game of the Town League. The boys put on a great display and finished with a great win. Great credit goes to Joby, Martin, Philip and Keith for all the work they put in with the boys all year. Between injuries and unavailability of players at times it wasn’t always easy to get a full squad together but the boys never gave up and every fixture was fulfilled and contested well. A special mention to the 5 U14 boys who always stepped up to the mark when asked to fill in when needed.
Finally everyone in the juvenile club would like to pass on our good wishes to Giles O’Grady who is recovering in hospital after a bad injury sustained in the championship game on Saturday last. Giles had been coaching the U12 to U16 boys all last winter in the Green and his core training had the boys in great shape when the season started. We all hope we will see him back in the club very soon.
