LADIES UNDERAGE
Our under-12 girls travelled to Bellefield during the week to take on the Starlights in the Shield semi-final. The girls played an amazing game against a very strong Starlights outfit. They fought hard for the entire game and never gave up, it was a close battle with St Fintan’s down by one point at the break. The girls then took the lead in the last quarter, only to be foiled in the last few minutes, losing out by two points at the final whistle. Score 5-7 to 5-5. It has to be said that these under-12 girls showed tremendous courage and spirit throughout the game we could not be more proud of them. They have done themselves their families and our club proud. Great stuff, girls.
