U11 Boys: The past week was a busy  one in U11 Wicklow league. First on Monday evening the 4th we played a previously postponed group 1 match against Rathnew in Ballinakill. The lads played their best football of the season to record a convincing win. Then on Wednesday evening 5th we had two teams in group 1 away against Baltinglass. Both of our teams started slowly and Baltinglass were ahead on aggregate at half time. However in the second half our lads really upped the tempo to record a good win. On the same evening we also had a team in Tinahely but unfortunately were outplayed by a good home side. A big thanks to the U9s who played in Tinahely with so many missing from our regular squad with holidays.
