ST FINTAN’S LADIES
The under-12 girls played Ballyhogue in the county semi-final in Ballymore in conditions that were similar to a November evening. The girls were not shaken by this, they played their hearts out with strength and determination, working the ball and playing superb football, their work rate, team spirit and self belief is a credit to them, and were rewarded with a victory they deserved. They now march on to a county final v Bannow-Ballymitty on September 3. Keep it going girls you can do it.
