All Ireland Quarter Final     Preparations are well under way as Na Gaeil Senior Ladies get ready to travel to Edinburgh this weekend for the All Ireland intermediate Quarter Final against Dunedin Connolly’s which will be played on Saturday November 3rd.

We would like to thank everyone for the overwhelming support that we have received; especially to Na Gaeil, our club members, friends and family.

A huge thanks must also goes to our sponsors, all those who have made donations, the local community and businesses that are helping make the trip to Scotland possible.

Na Gaeil Ladies U11        We played our last league game on Sunday morning against Beale in the U11 North Kerry League in nice fresh sunshine. Priya got us off to a flyer with her 1st point and Katie scored our 1st goal after Aisling found her with a superb kick pass.

This was quickly followed by two goals from Grainne and a super left footed point also from Grainne. On the other side Kate made a great point blank save but defenders Elsie Peig, Jessie, Aoife Hartnett, Aoife Barrett and Caoimhe held firm and only conceded one point in the 1st half. Aoife Hartnett went into goals for the 2nd half and made world class saves. Aoife Barrett scored a goal followed quickly by more points from Ava, Aoife, Gráinne, Aisling, Jessie, Katie and Priya.

This was an outstanding team effort led by Captain Elsie Peig. We went through the U11 unbeaten. Well done girls.

Team: Kate Burke, Caoimhe Fernane, Elsie Peig Rogers, Jessie Grealish, Ava Rice, Aisling Tansley, Aoife Hartnett, Aoife Barrett, Katie Casey, Grainne Breen, Priya O’Donovan.
