The U16 girls had their first league game of the season at home on Tuesday (6th) evening v Cookstown but unfortunately suffered defeat.  Training continues Thursday evening from 6.15 to 7.15 pm as the girls prepare for their next league fixture away to Ardboe next Tuesday (13th).

 

Our U16 lads hosted Ardboe last Thursday (1st) in their second league outing of the season. The away team built up an early lead but Killeeshil played some excellent football at times and battled gamely to the end. However Ardboe were always able to keep the Hoops at arms-length and ran out convincing winners at the final whistle. Training resumes this Wednesday (7th) at 8 pm. Next league game is Thursday 8th August v Kildress at home. Throw in at 7.15 pm.

The senior ladies had a great run out on Tuesday (6th) evening with a challenge game away to Cookstown who are a Grade 1 side. The girls should be happy with their performance despite losing narrowly by a single point because we had to play the last 10 minutes with 14 girls due to injuries. We hope Shauna and Caitlin both make a speedy recovery. Training continues on Thursday evening from 6pm until 7pm. Next league fixture is Monday 12th August at home v Dromore at 7.30 pm. All support is much appreciated.
