Community Games
Day 1 of the county community games athletics was a fantastic success with great running, community spirit & sunshine in a really well organised event. Our younger athletes had a fantastic experience on the track and enjoyed the experience of the big stage. Aoife Barry & Liam Scanlon made it through the the semifinal stage and a long day out!
Both Enda Moriarty and Sean jumped fantastically over hurdles to make it to semifinals & even a final for Enda! Our U10 mixed relay team ran a great race, unlucky not to progress to those latter stages but a great experience for them all. At Under 12 the girls all did really well individually with both Erica & Lila making it through semifinals & both running so well in their finals to earn pewter medals.
They were not finished there & having qualified in both their relay heats and winning their semifinal the had to wait to the 2nd last race of the day for their relay final! They ran a great race on tired legs finishing very strongly to win bronze medals for the team!! Thanks to everyone who helped make it a very enjoyable community day with great memories made & inspiration for our younger athletes!
Day 2 County community games athletics was also a fantastic day with events running off very quickly. Our 5 senior athletes did brilliantly with Mary Kate O’Shea starting very well with hurdles, followed by Súin Foley winning her 100m heat.
Harriet O’Loghlen jumped fantastically, just short of her PB in long jump winning a silver medal & progression straight to National Finals. Eddie hayes worked really hard to return from injury to run a very fast 200m race. He was unfortunate to be pipped into silver medal position just on the line in a photo finish.
He Qualifies for regional finals in Clonmel next. The U 14 girls relay team of Mary-Kate, Súin, Grace Costello & Harriet ran a fantastic heat winning by a long way.
Súin had to compete again in a really close 100m final. also, a photo finish where she won the pewter medal. After a small wait the girls were up again for their relay final against very strong competition from Spa Muckross & Kenmare. They finished very strongly to win bronze medals.

Well done to everyone today, especially our players of the week! Keep practicing the solos at home and we will work on passing the ball in the matches more next week.
U8 Girls
Well done to all the girls this morning. Great session working on handling and reaction times. Try to get a bit of practice in during the week with kicking and hand passing. Well done to our player of the week, Elsie. She showed great determination and excellent improvement in her kicking. Enjoy the lovely weather.
U10 Girls
We had a great session in the Mediterranean conditions this morning the girls showed great enthusiasm and a high level of skill in focus which will stand them well in our upcoming games.
U12 Girls
Our U12 girls played a great game last Wednesday night 17th of June against Scartaglen. Unfortunately, the opposition proved stronger. They showed great fight and never gave up and played for each other like all great teams do. You should all be proud of yourselves. Well Done Girls again.
U13’s
St Pats U-13’s played Castleisland Desmonds last Wednesday evening in the summer league. It was a brilliant entertaining game. We were slow out of the blocks but eventually our players settled into the game.
We showed good composure in possession, great skills tackling, blocking, hand passing, accurate kicking and scoring. Well done to all our St Pats future stars who played in the game. We will be on contact with parents regarding our next game. Naomh Pádraig Abú!!
U16
Our U16’s travelled away to Gneeveguilla last Thursday evening in the opening round of the County League. Our boys started the game strongly, capitalising on goal chances and playing some lovely football despite poor weather conditions.
We came into half time with a 6 point lead. Gneeveguilla came out an inspired side in the second half and clawed back at our lead. With 5 minutes to go the home team took the lead and left us chasing an equaliser.
Unfortunately, the result didn’t go our way in a tight game. The lads took plenty of learning from it. Notable performers on the night were Hugh Costello, Darragh Murphy, Eddie Hayes and Jace Flynn.
Final score Gneeveguilla 4-10 St. Pat’s /Castlegregory 4-09
