Well done to our own Mark Evans who performed well with the county under-15s at the weekend.

The county under-15’ competed in the first series of games in the Alan Mangan Tournament in Offaly on Saturday afternoon with three games of twenty minute halves so over 140 minutes of football was played.

A comprehens­ive win against Leitrim in the first game was followed a comfortabl­e win over Wexford (2) in the second game.

In the final game against Fermanagh the lads were seven points up with just 10 minutes left to play but conceded three goals in a five minute period and were unlucky then not to get an equaliser in the last minute with the opposition keeper pulling off unbelievab­le save.

However, there was many positives to take from today, this group of guys have shown excellent applicatio­n over the past month in particular and the future is bright for this group.

Our ‘Little Warriors’ will continue on Saturdays at 10am for boys and girls age 4-6. Fun games, getting to meet new friends and learning new skills, are what our nursery is all about. We look forward to welcoming those back from last year and meeting our new recruits!
