Junior Football Championship

Our junior footballers play St. Paul's on Tuesday evening in our second round fixture. This game is in Springfield with a 19:30 throw in. After a narrow defeat in our opening game, we will be keen to collect our first win on Tuesday. However we are up against very strong opponents who lost very narrowly to CFCW in their opening game. Please come along to support the team on Tuesday evening if you can.

 

U16 Football Championship

Lilliput Gaels 5-05  Shandonagh 2-12

Our U16's played their first game in this years championship last Monday evening in Ballinagore against a very competitive Shandonagh outfit. We started very well as we struck for three early goals and leave us in the driving seat. However, Shandonagh refused to panic and they recovered to leave the sides level at the break, 3-01 to 1-07. In the second half, it was nip and tuck for long periods. A case of two penalties, one scored by Shandonagh and one missed by ourselves, could have proved costly. However a well taken Peter Murphy goal was crucial in us collecting our first win the the group. This was a decent performance by our lads but there is room for improvement and our next game against Kinnegad will require us to be more clinical in front of goals. Team: Peter Dalton, Cathal Kelly, Ryan Boyne, Sean Kincaid, Odhran Gavigan, Tiernan McMahon, David Maloney, Shane Doran, Peter Reynolds, Cathal Elliffe, Warric Kirby, Cody Finnane, Peter Murphy, Luke Seery, Shane Corcoran, Jack Gannon.

 

U8 and U10 Blitz

Our U8 and U10 footballers travelled to Ballynacargy on Saturday morning for their latest blitz. Our opponents on the day were Ballynacargy and Garrycastle.
