U-14/U-16/U/18 Girls
Our minor girls team were defeated by Magheracloone by a single point in their League semi final last weekend in a keenly contested encounter that produced a frantic finish, in a game that was in the balance right up until the very end. Despite this defeat, this group of girls can be very proud of their achievements, producing some brilliant team performances and consistent results throughout the year, which in turn resulted in this team finishing in top spot on the league table at the end of the group stage of this competition. Team on duty in semi final –  Laura Mc Kenna, Shauna Mc Aree (Joint Captain), Emma Mc Aree, Ernesta Laureckyte, Niamh Fullen, Aoibhinn Treanor, Meighan Mc Kenna, Seanna Mohan (Joint Captain), Ellen Deery, Lynda Mc Meel, Lauren Treanor, Clodagh Mc Meel, Morgan Mc Kenna, Leona Mc Kenna, Megan Mc Quaid, Sinead Rafferty.

As the above game concludes the playing season for this year for our U-14, U-16 and U-18 girls teams, the team management, on behalf of all the players concerned would like to thank both ladies club PRO Rachel Mc Kenna and men’s club PRO Darren Feely for all their assistance in ensuring that match reports submitted for all the aforementioned teams were included in our weekly club notes throughout the year.
