Our U - 10 hurlers continued their indoor programme last Monday . 34
players attended . The theme of the session was “ An introduction to
field position “
The lads are seen listening intently to their coaches !!!!!

U10’s & U12’s
This was a Day out for the Roscommon Gaels U-10’s and U-10’s
Footballers and Hurlers to promote the Values that lay within the Club
grassroots of the GAA. It was a very memorable day for all Kids and
Adults alike, with the trip starting out on the famous Club Rossie Bus,
which was great excitement for all.
 
The 15 minute walk to Croke Park from Mountjoy Square was a sight to
behold, with Roscommon Gales flags been held aloft, much to the
bemusement from the rest of the onlooking supporters. There was great
banter between supporters and the Guards on duty outside Croke Park.
After a quick visit to the Croke Park Museum, we made our way to our
seats in the Cusack Stand.
 
To great excitement from our Roscommon Gaels crew, TJ Reid( 3 Times
Hurling All Star and current Kilkenny Captain), Mick Fennelly (Ballyhale
Shamrocks Captain) and the legendary Marty Morrissey came over to us
for pictures and banter.
 
With great wins for both Ballyhale Shamrocks and Corofin, it was a
fantastic experience for all who attended. We finished the day off with a
treat in Supermacs in Maynooth, who were extremely accommodating
and friendly.
 
Our youth in Roscommon Gaels left dreaming of some day having the
same outing again, except this time they will be players and not
supporters. Hopefully there dreams will come true!

U12 Football
U12 Football is back we had our first session last week, due to the
pitches been waterlogged we trained in the Hyde. Training will continue
Wednesday’s in the Hyde Centre from 8-9pm a message will go out to
parents. We are delighted to have our new coach Joanne Walsh
coaching our U12 Girls. We look forward to working along side Joanne
for the year to come. Joanne is no stranger to the field. Joanne is
currently teaching in Roscommon and plays with Carnacon. Good luck
Joanne with the season ahead.

U14 Football
All our training is back in full swing, very large numbers are attending all
sessions and the girls can’t wait to get back out on the pitch to start their
games. Training this week on Wednesday at 6.30-8pm and on Friday
6.30-8pm outdoor weather permitting. A text will go out to parents.

U16 Football
Training continues for our U16 girls. We had a bye this week in the
league. Next game Round 3 is next Sunday v Shannon Gaels. This is
an away game. Venue tbc a text will go out to confirm.
Junior Ladies
Junior Co. League Rd 3:  Roscommon Gaels 0-8; Oran 3-5.

Our third Junior League outing saw a much improved performance
against Oran today at Rockfield. Oran were 7 points ahead at half time
but we should probably have enjoyed a decent lead facing into the wind,
and rain, which would have changed the complexion of the game if we
hadn’t so many wides. Oran made better use of their chances in the
second half to run out winners on the day. Credit to both sides who gave
it all in a game which stretched energy levels to the limit. After one win,
this was our second defeat in the league but all is not lost and we look
forward to the upcoming fixture against Kilbride.

Support!
Please support all our teams as they compete in their various fixtures –
it’s so important to all the players to see lots of support and
encouragement on the side-lines – no matter what their age :-)!!  – It
really does make a difference.
Especially the home games – what better way to pass an evening or
morning – stroll up to the pitch, bring the kids and enjoy the fresh air
while supporting your club.
Serious Support for all our players – don’t forget the club colours :-)
