The Ahane U10 footballers played their latest county football blitz last Friday evening in Mungret village, where we fielded teams against the very able opposition of Mungret, Pallaskenry / Kildimo and Monaleen. There was a superb turnout of players for this blitz allowing us to field 2 separate teams for the occasion, which bodes well for the future of this group.

On one pitch, Andrew, Cian, the other Cian, Padraig, Ben, Shane, Riain, Ewan and Cormac all put in a blinding effort throughout 3 very tough games being competitive throughout and showcasing a range of skills and teamwork. On the other pitch, Owen, Rory, Ronan, Harry, Luke, Donncha, John, Tony and Kevin displayed battling and tackling skills which were a match for all others and continued to work hard for each other throughout the games in a sweltering environment for all players and parents!

A huge thanks goes out from the panel and mentors to Mungret GAA for hosting an excellent event, but especially to all our parents who came along and supported wholeheartedly throughout. Without their assistance and willingness, there would be no football team here to coach and mentor and we are grateful for their time. 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 participants will be warmly welcomed, while hurling training is on Monday evenings at 6.30pm.
