Parnells club notes

U12 Girls-News Focus

'Holloway Gaels invited Parnells Girls u12s to a showcase of underage football at their Ann Dunning Tournament at TCG on Saturday 11 March.   Parnells were well represented with a squad of 15 girls along with 2 other team; Tara's, North London Shamrocks.  We were up first against Tara's which proved to be a tough match.  We were rusty and took some time to get going and work as a team. Once we got going we were off.  The match against NLS, showed our true colours and serious commitment rose its head.  The girls were on fire and showed their energy and desire to get that ball over and under the bar.  In conclusion, it was a great display of football shown by all teams. This occasion has made the girls even more excited about the forthcoming season and we hope to have many more opportunities to play. As usual the girls were a credit to themselves, their parents and to Parnells.   Thanks Holloway Gaels for the invite'.
