U16's Competition we had 5 teams from St Claret's, Claddagh Gaels, Parnell's, and Tara's clubs.The girls enjoyed implementing their skills in the games and it was noted that the level of football is increasing with tight games which was reflected on the pitches. It's great to see the girls getting their reward after all their hard work of training throughout the season.
