School Boys/Girls and Junior League Football in South Kilkenny
Our u16 girls visited Park Rangers for The Shona Heffernan Momorial Tournament and what a great day it was. The weather held off and a great tournament was had by all. We bowed out in the shield semi final.
Thank you very much to all at Park Rangers for their fantastic hospitality.
The very best of luck to the Waterford U14 Gaynor Squad who embark on a week’s adventure in Limerick starting tomorrow and will hope to bring home a trophy.
Although none of our players made the final squad, coaches Dee Travers and Richard Long are on duty in what is sure to be a scorching week of weather and football.

Mixed bag of results but plenty experience gained by all 7 players and our coaching duo.
