Ladies Football:
U-16 Team:
The U-16 ladies played two games last week, on Friday morning the girls took on Eire Og in Frenchpark in round two of the championship. In poor weather condition both sides had to work hard for their score, some well taken goals from Eire Og ensured that they secured the win. On Sunday evening the team played Strokestown in Strokestown. This was a hard fought game and the girls lead for much of the match but Stroketown finished the stronger and got two vital goals in the closing minutes to secure the win. The girls welcome St. Faithleachs to Frenchpark next Sunday evening for round 4.
