U8’s: On Thursday evening last we played host to the under 8 team from Castlegregory and what a ding-dong game our under 8’s team enjoyed with them. There were some great scores from Jack Costello, Michael Enright and Darragh Murphy who were well supported by Sharon Enright, Sarah Fitzgerald, Keelin Synnott, Kayla O’Connor and Orlaigh Murphy. Luke Passway made some dramatic saves while playing in goal and the defence was well served by Garry Scollard, Caoilainn Culloo, Rory Daly, Rodhan Culloo and Nathan Murphy. Well done to all who played and especially to James Daly and Stephen Enright – two of our under 6 panel who made the step up to Under 8’s for the game. Thanks to the parents for getting all of the players to the match on Thurday.
Congratulations to Keelin Sinnott who won the player of the week for the under 8’s at the academy on Sunday last. The session was held in the School hall and a great effort in all of the drills was put in by everyone especially Leah Kelliher, Caoilainn Culloo and Stephen Enright.
