U12 Gold played away to Craughwell on Saturday morning in their final league group game. The girls as always fought hard and were trailing by just 2 points at the break. Despite a trojan effort from the Claregalway Girls, Craughwell were the strongest team on the day. The U12 Greens played away to Salthill on Sunday Evening. This was a very tight game from throw in with scores hard to find. It was Claregalway who recorded the first score with an excellent point from play. The first half finished with Claregalway ahead 0–6 to 0–2. The second half began with the same intensity with the Claregalway defenders denying Salthill many scoring opportunities. A goal from Claregalway increased their lead but Salthill continued to fight back with a number of points from frees and a late goal. The game finished 1–7 each. Claregalway Green play Corofin Emeralds in the next round. This game is fixed for Monday 7th May at 7pm in Knockdoe. Training continues on Saturday at 5.15pm. Congratulations to our girls from Claregalway NS who are making their confirmation this Saturday.
