Congratulations to our U12 boys team who were crowned City League Division 1 Champions last Friday evening after an enthralling encounter with St James in Westside. We trailed 2–1 to 0–6 at half time but a wonderful second half performance of grit and determination saw our captain (and birthday boy!!) Jake Buckley lift the cup.
Scorers: Cillian Whelan 1–3, Riain Concannon 0–3, Eanna Ó Loinsigh 0–1, Gerard Ó Riordan 0–1, Stephen Healy 0–1.
Congratulations to all the players and coaches on this great achievement. Thank you to all the parents and supporters who came to the match to shout on the lads. Thanks also to Audi Galway our team’s sponsor and our club for the post match refreshments.
Not content with winning one competition last weekend, the same group of players took part in the Clarinbridge GAA Invitational 11 a-side Tournament on Saturday morning.

Well done again to all involved and many thanks to Clarinbridge GAA for the invitation to an excellently organised tournament.
