Strong performance pays off
Our U17s got back to training in mid February in anticipation of the 2022 season. Our first football game was versus Ballycastle Gaels at home. The boys put in a very strong performance and came out on top at the final whistle on a scoreline of 3-05 to 1-07.
Next up was our hurling again versus Ballycastle Gaels. This was a very tight game throughout with Kildorrery loosing out in the end by a single point. Final score, 2-07 to Kildorrery and 1-11 to Ballycastle Gaels.
On 28th March we took on Dromtarriffe in football. The boys put on a great performance pulling away as the game went on and wining on a score of 6-08 to 3-09. On Friday night last we travelled to Newmarket to test our mettle in hurling. Down by 5 points at half time the lads didn’t give up and fought back, raining in scores in the final 3 minutes of the game to clinch the win. Final score Kildorrery 2-20 to Newmarket’s 3-14.
Our next outing is football versus BK Plunketts at home on Monday next the 11th April at 6.30pm. With the boys out almost every night we gave training a miss on Monday and instead had a team talk and get together with the U17s in Oaklawn where we had a discussion on game strategy and tactics washed down with plenty of tea and biscuits. We will be back training on Thursday and hopeful of the full squad in attendance.
