School Boys/Girls and Junior League Football in South Kilkenny
The weather might be playing havoc with fixtures for the coming weekend but today it didn’t stop the u13 Girls South East FAI Emerging Talent selection take on Cork and two Limerick sides in a blitz in horrendous weather today in Limerick. Included in this squad was our own Emily Blackmore, who performed excellently in the three games which they beat Cork 1-0 but go down to Limerick A and B 2-1 in each game. Well done Emily and all the girls from Waterford, Kilkenny, Wexford and Carlow.
Nearly all entries for the weekend are in, with a wide selection of choices from Brighton to Sheffield United to a big number on Liverpool.
Those still to send in their picks, have until 12 noon tomorrow.
Our u10 Girls visited Villa and Carrick on Sunday morning last and put in brilliant performances to show progress is steadily being made with these two squads.
Goals aplenty in Villa with Saoirse Dunphy, Leah Twomey and Lexi Walsh among the goals. The game in Carrick was a tight affair with the girls a little unlucky not to have been closer to a bigger Carrick side.
Arsenal put paid to 7 more yesterday so we are left with 66 heading into week 3 of the competition.
Winners of the monthly draw:
1st prize Breda Carberry
2nd prize Frank Meade
3rd prize Ian O’Keeffe
Winner of Two tickets for Ireland v Denmark: Alan Treacy
Unfortunately we won’t be in a position to be recording our 300 Club draw live tonight, keep an eye on the page for the video though. To be posted shortly. Apologies to all.
Youth B side Ballinroad arrived in Ashgrove to face our young charges. Depleted for one reason or another, this young squad can be proud of their display against a bigger physical side.
A missed penalty after two minutes by Evan Cleary could have sent this game in a total different direction with the lads sticking to the game plan throughout the first half to a tee but two sloppy mistakes had Ballinroad 2 up at half time.
Another two costly mistakes in the second half undone the boys who had a second penalty saved, Ryan Carroll the guilty party this time. Another couple of chances were passed up aswell.
Good displays throughout the side with Ryan O’Grady and Luke Ramasamwy doing well at full back, Jay Langford was his usual excellent self but Man of the match was young Adrian Daly who covered every blade of grass, his reading of the game was a pleasure to witness.
Good experience gained by all.
A day to forget for this squad. Credit to the 4th division lads who helped out and to Scoby for looking after them this morning.
Please, if you can, come out support the mumogie charity match later this evening.
