However, the good news is that the tournament has been rescheduled for this Saturday October 12th. Have a great day by The Lee, boys!
CAID FAOI 15:
(i) What a disappointing defeat for our boys on Monday night in the Division 1 Town League quarter final against the John Mitchel Club. Our warriors fought with all their worth, played nice attractive football but it wasn’t our day! Well done, lads, on your great effort! You gave it your all! Beidh lá eile ag an bPaorach! This was our final game of the season and wasn’t it a season that had lots of positives overall. We are Division 2 County League winners, Central League Division 1 winners and we’ve a lot of brilliant, skilful and exciting football played since the spring. Maith sibh, a leaideanna na Carraige! Our Division 1 stars: Conor O’Regan; Mark Riordan, Oran O’Donoghue, Ryan O’Carroll; Fionn Cotter, Eoin Mangan, Darragh Lyons; Jamie Casey, Ben Litchfield; Jack Delaney, David Hobbert, Michael Cotter; Danny Lane, Barry Laide, Denis Brassil; David Ahern, Ryan O’Flaherty, Noah Reidy, Joe Barry, Harry Murphy, Jayden O’Dowd. Minor lads: divisional and development teams involvement has seen this group being exposed to massive amounts of action. Hopefully agus le cúnamh Dé, a good sound solid foundation has been laid for future success at minor level next year.
(ii) We await confirmation (time/date/venue) of our Division 2 team’s Town League Final in aghaidh ‘Na Gaeil.’
(iii) We strongly exhort and encourage all our boys to remain active during the off season. Boys, continue with ball and skill work and keep putting in the solo miles in preparation for the new season in January ’25! (Ger Hobbert)
