LADIES FOOTBALL
U14 Ladies Football Championship - Ballymartin 4-9 v Clonduff 7-8
The Clonduff U14 girls have made it through to the semi final of the Championship after overcoming a gallant  Ballymartin side on Sunday 7th September.
Playing a 13 a-side format on Ballymartin's full size pitch was a big ask and certainly tested the fitness of our girls especially in the middle third where much of the play is centred around.
The game ebbed and flowed where both sides had their dominant periods but overall the Clonduff girls made better use of possession to comfortably win this contest.
No training next Monday night due to seniors match in Newry.
Training on Wednesday next at 6.30 - Note Earlier time
The Management team of Sean and John Anthony would like thank Niall Rafferty for the kind offer to sponsor the new jerseys.
On Saturday 6th September evening a new set of jerseys were presented to the U14 Ladies by Niall Rafferty on behalf of Rafferty Car Sales. A massive 'Thank You' to Niall for the magnanimous gesture.
