Girls Academy: Last Sunday morning marked our U8 girls final training session of the year. Well done to all the girls this season, fantastic football was played and huge improvements by all throughout the year, hope ye all enjoyed it and hopefully see ye all next year. Sincere thanks to coaches Brian, Yvonne, Don, Kevin, Donal and Mark for their commitment to the girls throughout the season, continuous high numbers at this age group every Sunday is a wonderful testament to all of you. An end of year trip to Bowling Buddies is planned for this Sunday so keep an eye on team whats app for all the details.
U12 Girls: We played Super football under the lights last Fri night. Thanks to Castleisland Desmonds for traveling in and our referee Evelyn. *Season Finale* Our final u12 fixture of 2025 with Firies, will now take place this Monday evening in Connolly Park @6pm.
6-12 (30) v Austin Stacks 7-09 (30)The final group game didn’t disappoint as the Austin Stacks U14 girls travelled to Abbeydorney for a thrilling encounter that had everything – goals, grit, and a race against fading light.Stacks came out flying, tackling tenaciously, linking up brilliantly and taking some fine scores, but Abbeydorney kept in touch with sharp finishing of their own. At the break, it was Stacks who held the edge: Abbeydorney 2-4 ; Austin Stacks 5-3.The second half was a proper battle, end-to-end stuff with both teams giving it everything. Abbeydorney found another gear late on and edged ahead by three, but the Stacks girls weren’t ready to pack it in.With the light fading fast, they dug deep, turned over possession, and worked a brilliant team goal to level it up.
This was a performance full of heart, grit, and no shortage of drama. Since the beginning of this competition, the Stacks girls have improved game after game, the coaches could not have asked for more and are extremely proud of the effort shown by each and everyone one of the girls tonight.
Well done to both teams for a cracking contest.
This was our final group game, we await the results of other games to determine where we finish in the table, and who our opposition will be in either the Shield or Plate final.
