Visitors prove too strong on the day
Glenville U13s had a baptism of fire in their first fixture of the Mid Cork Div 1 Grading League on Saturday 26th, March. Visitors Donoughmore were a physically big side but also very skilled. Our boys started well and the first quarter was a real contest. Indeed, the halftime deficit of 5 points didn’t look insurmountable, given the scoring chances we were unlucky not to convert just before the whistle.
Unfortunately, Donoughmore’s assured teamwork was too much to live with in the second half and despite a spirited showing from the Glenville lads, the visitors ran out worthy winners on a scoreline of 1-3 to Glenville, 6-9 to Donoughmore. A good learning experience for our boys.

DAD AND LADS
Dads and Lads is a social football and hurling programme for those keen to enjoy Gaelic games outside the traditional competitive structures of the GAA. The philosophy of GAA for Dads and Lads is all about participation and the camaraderie that only team sports can offer. The small-sided adapted games allow for incidental contact only (to minimise any risk of injury) so skills are to the fore over physicality. The games are self-governed – no referees.
We started a Dads and Lads football and hurling group in Glenville and it has proved a great success so far, with numbers increasing every night. It’s open to all and no previous experience of playing football is required. To sign up, or for more details contact John O’Connor our PRO on 085-7102290.
