Juvenile Academy 

Surrounded by several larger clubs in our catchment area, we take pride in offering a more personal small club experience. Our modest team sizes and close-knit environment create a space where members are known, supported, and offers greater opportunities to play!

U8 Girls 

Congratulations to Katie, this week’s player of the week. Katie has worked very hard at her football lately especially at the blitz last Monday.

This week we tried to work at tackling, holding the ball in contact and kicking on the move, however the weather had other plans forcing more time in the stand than out on the field. Thanks everyone for showing up on such as miserable morning. Hopefully, the weather improves for next week.

U10 Girls 

Thanks to everyone who braved the conditions this morning. Although the weather was not very appealing the girls were full of fun and mischief and managed to get some good hand passing practice in before the rain took over & we adjourned to the stand.!! Better days ahead hopefully.

U12 Girls

We had great numbers again this morning, super work from our u12 girls again this morning with help from some of our 10 girls for the 2nd game of the season. Everyone played a massive game, and they were all super, the passing, teamwork and skill on show was very impressive. The practice is really paying off girls.

Keep up the practice at home as that is really where ye will master the skills of the game. Thanks again to Lucy, Faye, Abi, Ava and Louisa our u10 girls who got their 1st experience at u12, the future looks bright, well done.

Finally, we all want to wish today’s captain Ava a big happy birthday. Well done girls UP THE PATS! Our next game is on Wednesday 20th of May at 6.30pm away to John Mitchels in our 3rd game of the GO Games Competition.

U14 Boys 

St Pats hosted John Mitchels in Blennerville for the County League semi-final and put in a strong display to earn their spot in the final. John Mitchels started well with an early goal and a point. St Pats settled despite a tricky crosswind, with Noah Flynn’s goal levelling things up. From there, solid defending, sharp attacking and a great work rate saw St Pats take control. Noah added a second goal before half time, leaving it 2-07 to 1-03 at the break.

The lads kept the momentum in the second half, managing the game well to finish 4-11 to 1-11 winners. Darragh Flahive and Darragh Murphy both found the net after the break.
