U-15 Football County Champions

Congratulations to our U-15’s who put in a great performance against Cois Bhride last Saturday morning to be crowned County Champions on a score line of 8-4 to 3-5. Right from the throw in both teams set out to attack and after a very entertaining first half we held a four point lead.

Cois Bhride started the second half in the ascendency and they reduced the arrears to one point with 15 minutes to go. At this stage the game could of went either way, but our young players dug deep to ensure they would not be denied on this occasion.

After the match it was with great delight that Mikie O'Brien accepted the shield on behalf of his teammates. Mikie thanked mentors Trevor Costelloe and Andy Doyle for their efforts during the year and also Eamonn Clancy and Margaret Tobin who were always available to help out with Frist Aid.

Afterwards, the team and supporters returned to the clubhouse to enjoy some refreshments and celebrate their victory. Many thanks to Helen Curran, Breda Costelloe and Aoife Costelloe who ensured everyone was well looked after.
