Both our U14 girls teams were in action over the weekend with challenge games.

On Sunday evening, in far sunnier conditions again at Ballyrickard, our Strand Road team had a tough encounter with Annascaul, but eventually came away 5-9 to 4-9 victors. Well done to both teams whose hard work in training is really starting to show.
We have more challenge games ahead in the coming weeks before the North Kerry League begins in August. Keep it up girls!
U16 Girls on Thursday night victorious over Stacks
U16 Girls:
One training session this week on Tuesday with almost a full squad turning out for a very tough session in preparation for our 1st round game against stacks.
Congrats to our U16 girls Thursday evening as they took on Austin Stacks at home in Ballyrickard. A very hard fought game against a strong stacks side the game was close all the way, never more than a point or two in it. In the last few minutes our girls captained by Chloe O’Sullivan kicked a goal and two points finishing on a score line of Stacks 3-5 to Kerins O Rahillys 4-7.
U16 management would like to express sympathy and thoughts to our player Saoirse Mc Carty and her family on the loss of Saoirse’s grandmother this week.
