Girls Under 13 Interleague Development Day

Galway, Sligo/Leitrim and Mayo Schoolgirls U-13 Squads played a round robin series in Milebush Park, Castlebar on Saturday 19th December.

As the games were developmental there were no trophies or prizes on offer as the games were there to assist the girls to develop in a learning enviroment without fear of failure and for the coaches to be able to assess them against other elite representative squads.

A special thanks to the coaches who mentored the players over the last 10 weeks, Womens Development Officer Moyia Parke who initiated the idea, the leagues for their support of this initiative, the players for their effort over the last 10 weeks and also to the supporters who travelled on the day to support the participants.
