Under 14s
On Thursday evening last we made the short trip to play St Lomans in Mullingar. We started the game slow and during the first 10 minutes we had conceded two goals. As expected the lads got down to work and had a very strong remaining first half. Missing numerous chances we still managed to lead going in to the break. We started the second half as we had left off and had a vast amount of possession with some excellent football. We finished the game off with a few well taken scores on what was a very positive performance right throughout the panel.
