Ladies football notes

U12s had their final game of the season vs Banner who made the long trip in from Shanaway Road.

32 girls played and we fielded two teams as did Banner - a great sign of the continued participation in LGFA at underage!
Super support from our parents and thanks to Tom (Banner) and Aidan (Eire Og) for reffing.

We’re taking a break for the winter but will see everyone in 2024 while the girls home their skills in the schools comps.
