Our Juvenile Academy got off to a great start last Sunday morning with a great turnout in all age groups with lots of new faces. In our U6’s Jack Maguire, Rodhan Culloo, Shane and Conor O’Neill put in a great training session,learning plenty new ball skills while also enjoying fun games. In our U8’s Kayleigh O’Connor, Rory Daly, Grainne Breen and one of our newcomers Mark O’Brien showed great skill and determination throughout the training session.

Our U10’s focused mainly on throwing and catching, twins Caoimhe and Siobhan O’Sullivan were very impressive while James Crean tried very hard on his first day back. Well done to all! Training continues next Sunday at 11 O’clock in the sports complex for U6’s to U10’s.
