A busy day for our academy kids with all age groups playing games today. First up were the U8 and U9s who travelled to Carrick this morning and played a series of games in the wonderful facilities in Tom Drohan park.

Next up at 5pm in Piltown were the academy girls who really have improved beyond belief. Since their debut game a couple of months back against Piltown, the girls have knuckled down in training and this evening showed skill and determination to match Piltown all the way in the 4 games. Very proud coaches after this one.

After the girls came the U6 and U7 boys against Piltown and a derby battle ensued with little given away in the u6 game and the u7 battling hard against a physically stronger Piltown side.

Great to get games on a very rare fine day. Massive thanks to the coaches for giving up their time today, much appreciated by the club. To all the parents for the support today, a big thank you. It made a massive difference to the kids.

Thanks to Carrick and Piltown for hosting us in their excellent facilities.

Finally well done to each and every boy and girl today for putting on great entertainment.
