PEIL FAOI 15:
(i) County League Division 9B…AdeS B: 5-8; Ardfert B: 2-4. Congratulations to our U15B team on qualifying for a County League semi-final after another fine victory. The game was played in Ardfert on Sunday last (28th). The match had many of the hallmarks of the last outing (sa Ghaeltacht), a game in which our boys had control throughout and moved up the gears in the second half as required and were comfortable in their play and were deserving winners. Thanks to Ardfert for arranging the match at short notice and thanks to the referee for his handling of the game. ‘Well done’ to our match captain, Seán, and to all the boys who gave of their ‘almighty best.’ That was another excellent team performance. Bhí spiorad agus anam sna himreoirí. ‘Well done’ to the returning Alex O’Flaherty who is a great addition to the squad. The Rock Player of the Match: Diarmuid Hennessy who was a colossus in defence.

PEIL FAOI 17:
Our minors have two games played in the Central League. Our 1st outing was against Churchill at home in Connolly Park with a very young team. Though unsuccessful on the scoreboard, they put up a great show against older players and one couldn’t fault their brave efforts. Our 2nd minor game was against a strong Ballymac team and, again, we were on the wrong side of the result. However, lining out with 11 minors in their first year is a daunting task but it is a great learning experience for them. Taithí a dhéanann máistreacht. We played our 3rd match on Monday last v Laune Ranger ar an bPoc (i gCill Orglan). Painéal na Carraige: Leon Sweeney; Gabriel Maszorek, Max Maszorek, Rian Walsh; Ben Litchfield, Fionnán Ryan, Adam Johnston; Alex Touhy, Liam O’Connell; Harry Murphy, Cormac Bastible, Jack Diggin; Tomás O’Connell, Ben Murphy, Rory Lynch; Jack Shanahan, Tadhg Falvey, Darragh Lyons. An bhainistíocht: Theo Ó Duigín, David Courtney, Ronan Kavanagh, Liam Lynch, Frankie Murphy. (Theo Ó Duigín)
