Na Gaeil Juvenile Notes

Under 14: Once again this weekend was a washout for our u14s. The “Comórtas an Earraigh” which was due to be played on Sunday had to be postponed due to Storm Dennis. The organisers now hope to run it on Sunday 1st March instead. Monday night, as usual, will see the lads in the gym in Na Gaeil for an indoor session from 7-8pm. Our first game of the season is nearly upon us….the u14 Suits Select Town Board league starts next Sunday 23rd and our first game is against St. Pats at 11am in Blennerville.

Under12: Austin Stacks (Amber) v Na Gaeil (B), Sunday 23rd @ 5:30 pm

Under 10: boys were forced indoors again this week due to storm Dennis but still managed to break a sweat despite the elements outside! After a dynamic warm up the coaches concentrated on the pick-up, hand pass and catching the ball. The session ended with a hand passing game. All boys are encouraged to practice their skills outside of the session. Thanks to Teresa for taking pics this week! We hope to return to the Astro in the IT next week!
