The U14 girls had a great start to their league beating St Marys in Kent Park this evening. We were 1 point down at half time but put in a great performance in the 2nd half to win comfortably in the end. The girls then went on later in the week to defeat St Mary's, Naomh Molaise Gaels and Drumcliffe/Rosses Point to qualify for the County semifinals of this years Fele tournament.
Having ran St John's so close last week the under 12 girls had a break this week but return to action with a busy weekend facing both St Mary's and Coolera/StrandHill and Friday night and Monday night respectively.
Friday night's game is at home while Monday night's fixture is away, both games throw in at 7 PM.
