Na Gaeil Ladies U 16 North Kerry Division One Shield Winners

We added these trophies to the Div 2 County League Title after we defeated Cromane in the Final. It was a long season with a few ups and downs but all the hard work that was put in by the girls on the training pitch paid off. Our Players always played with a never say die attitude with an example being of when we were 8pts down in one game with 20 mins to go and winning by 10.

A great bunch of players who play for each other, play very good football and leave everything on the pitch for their club. Coaches and parents can be so proud of their attitude and behaviour on and off the field. A Huge Thanks to Parents and Supporters for all the help that has been given throughout the year as well. Thanks to Eddie, Troy and Susan for all their hard work.
