Minor Girls

With two weeks to go until their opening game in the Ulster club championship our minor girls had their final challenge at home to the Armagh minor ladies development squad on Sunday morning. Every player got plenty of playing time and all gave a wholehearted display throughout. After three 20 minute periods Shanes managed to come out on top by twelve points. Many thanks to Tommy Coleman for helping to organise the game, to Kevin Gollagly for refereeing and to all the players on both teams for an outstanding and sporting match. Training continues on Thursday at Carrickruppen from 6.30pm - 8.00pm. The club is running a supporters bus to the minor girls Ulster club championship game against St Macartans (Tyrone) in Augher on Sunday 23rd November at a cost of £5.00 per person. The club is encouraging as many people as possible to attend the game in their club colours to support the girls, especially underage players for other boys and girls teams. To book a seat on the bus please contact Peter Lynch on 07876453546.

 

U10s & U8s Presentation

Last Tuesday night saw our U10s and U8s held their annual presentation to reward the boys and girls for their performances throughout the year and all their hard work and commitment. These two teams played a huge amount of football this year and won a total of five trophies between them - a tremendous achievement by these young players and hopefully a sign of things to come. They all went bowling on Tuesday evening before returning to the club for something to eat. On behalf of the club I would like to congratulate all the boys and girls for their achievements over the year and a special word of thanks to Seamie O'Hare, John Grant, Joe Lennon and anyone else who helped to train and coach both these teams - your efforts are greatly appreciated by the club. Thanks also to all the parents who were on hand throughout the year to help out and assist when needed and again this greatly appreciated by the club.

U16 Presentation

The club is holding a combined presentation night on Saturday 15th November for this year's U16 boys and girls. The boys will receive their Division 2 league winner's medals whilst the girls will receive the championship runners-up medals. The presentation will start at 7.30pm and will be followed by a disco.

Youth Meeting
