U14 girls – Report on U14 girls final North Kerry Win. Played on fabulous sunny day in Dingle the under 14 girls headed onto the pitch in what was the deciding game in the North Kerry Board Division 3 league. Prior to throw in there was the opportunity for some photographs with Kerry senior player Paul Geaney.

After that it was down to the business of the day. It was a tentative start for the Kerins O’Rahillys girls knowing that if they triumphed in this game they were heading home with silverware. They started with a couple of points but then followed with a few wides, possibly still giddy from their meeting with Mr. Geaney.

Midway through the first half they started to put the passes together and the scores soon followed. They kicked some great scores and even though the girls from Dingle put up a brave showing, the O’Rahillys girls were much stronger.

A few substitutes at half time and these girls showed their mettle. This under 14 team is a very balanced team with starters and subs of equal value to the team. At the final whistle the Strand Road girls were worthy winners and Captain Siobhan Griffin accepted the trophy and did herself proud with an exhilarating speech. Thanks to all the players all year for all their continued hard work in making this team a great team. A big thank you to all the parents for their support all through this year.

The girls are training with Manager Jerome Linnane and mentors Mark and Aishling. Contact Jerome for information on 0876114661
