Juvenile Academy
Unfortunately, with Sundays forecast Juvenile Academy was cancelled for safety reasons and some fixtures for the younger kids were postponed! Hopefully all the families got to enjoy the morning off and Father’s Day instead! See ye all next week and keep up the practice until then.
U5
Due to the risk of thunder showers Under 5 training was cancelled this week. Kids were encouraged to practice throwing and catching games at home instead. See you next week.
U9
St. Pats under 9s took part in a very enjoyable blitz in Ardfert on Sunday morning. They played five games in total against teams from Ardfert, Na Gaeil and Churchill. The boys displayed great skill and teamwork. Well done to all players and thanks to parents for travelling. Thank you to Ardfert for hosting.
U11
A trip to Beale (Ballybunion) on Thursday, was our last away game in this phase of the County League Go Games. A decent turnout of U11s took to the sandy pitch and, in the beautiful sunshine, put together some great football. Both games were hotly contested, and the boys had to dig deep and really play for each other.
Some tired boys really enjoyed the ice pops after the games. Well done to all the boys who travelled and the parents who provided excellent support. We have a challenge match away to Ballymac on Monday evening and a home game against Duagh on Thursday.
U12 Girls
The U12 Girls were away to Inbhear Sceine Gaels B last Thursday. It was a long trip to Kenmare on a sun-soaked evening, but the availability of the bus made the trip a memorable one for all the girls with plenty of sing songs to pass the time.
The game was a tough one with the girls succeeding in extra time. As always, we were very proud of all the girls and the songs got louder on the journey back to St. Pats!
Training continues Monday evening from 5.30pm to 6.30pm. We play round 2 of the county league away to Duagh next Thursday at 7pm.
U13
Our U13’s trained on Tuesday and Thursday last in great spirits after the victory on the previous Sunday. We worked on small, sided activities which included attacking and defending and the lads have really improved since the beginning of the year. We have one outstanding game from the Tralee/St Brendan’s League.
This should be fixed in the coming days and parents will be notified of same once confirmed. Finally, we wish all our players representing their districts in the County Athletics Community Games championships which take place this coming Saturday and Sunday in Castleisland.
U14 Girls
Training continues Monday evening from 5.30pm to 6.30pm. Will be in touch during the week with details of our next match as soon as we receive fixtures.
U15
Our 15 team are putting in a good block of training and playing challenge games in anticipation of the central league which starts on Wednesday 28th June.
Training continues Monday, Wednesday, and Friday this week.

This Round 10 game which was a must win for us proved to be heart stopping from beginning to end.

Fergal O Brien kept our scoring going with a point, St Senan’s quickly added two more points. With only a point between the teams, Kieran Hurley provided a much-needed point to keep the game in our favour.
Two more points added by St Senan’s, with intensity increasing between the sides and the game turning into a point for point game. Fergal O Brien again got another point but was answered with a quick response of a point by St Senan’s, with time running down and the crowd holding their breath on both sides.
