Ahane U8 Football Team – the U8 footballers played their first county football blitz this evening in Mungret, where they fielded 2 teams taking on the likes of Mungret, Pallas/Kildimo, Monaleen and Ballybrown. There was a superb display of skills on show for the crowd that flocked to the occasion, which bodes well for the future of this group. On one pitch, heroic efforts were put in from Kevin and Ewan, while on the other Sam plugged every gap that opened while Shane ghosted all the way up the pitch unnoticed to knock home a fine cross.

Some other highlights include Tom losing a tooth in battle – or perhaps winning an opponent’s – plus Cormac is now nursing a shiner, but as they say “you should see the other guy!”.

A huge thanks goes out from the panel and mentors to Mungret GAA for hosting tonight’s event, and also to all the parents who came along and supported wholeheartedly throughout. The foundations for a great football team are there so let’s continue to work and play together as a team.

Reminder – football training continues on Sunday mornings at 10.30 and all newcomers will be warmly welcomed.

Hurling training continues on Monday evenings at 6pm.
