These sessions are also open to all boys born in 2010 and in 2011 and who are not already in Kerry Development Squads.
PEIL FAOI U16:
We had a disappointing week, unfortunately, on the competitive front. Both our teams suffered defeats in the County League. The holiday season is taking its toll ach ní fál go haer é! Our Division 1B team has a bye this week and our Division 9B team will travel to Listowel for round 4. Training on Sunday morning and on Tuesday evening. Next Sunday we are due to host the U16 team from the Club of St Finbarrs, Cork. Hopefully, this will be a chance to get in a good challenge game before our final round game v Firies. Next County League games: 17th July: Team A v Firies (ag baile i bPáirc Uí Chonghaile); Team B v Milltown (as baile). (Ger Hobbert)
