Well done to our Under 10 Boys who travelled to Agyaran last Saturday to take part in a Go-Games Blitz, due to Communions and Confirmations numbers were down but the boys who made the trip put in a brilliant effort. The skills and techniques the boys have learned in their training has really paid off, they played three games and competed very well in them all. Thanks to everyone who travelled to help and support.

 

On Saturday the Sigersons Under 8 & Under 10 girls hosted a county blitz which seen somewhere in the region of 100+ children taking part. Children and coaches travelled from Dromore, Drumquin, Sperrin Oģ, Clann Na Gael and Badoney to display their skills. Thanks to all that helped out on the day, especially Liam Sweeney, Anna Mortimore and Ella Stewart for refereeing the games, and also the parents that supplied refreshments and assisted in any way.

 

Last Tuesday night U14 ladies defeated Beragh 9-14 to 2-3 in their last home fixture of the Grade 3B league. Playing in front of a large home crowd, Sigersons started the first half playing towards the golf club end against a stiff yet warm breeze blowing in their faces. This team has developed into a brave and determined bunch in recent weeks, which has taught them to persevere and keep digging deep to get what they deserve. This was a fantastic squad display this evening, it was a brilliant all round team performance with the defenders working hard to keep out the opposition and in forward line they were on fire. Congratulations girls on a great victory.
