Girls Gaelic Football Update 18th April 2013

U16s have had 2 matches:

vs Moneyglass 9th April lost 6-4 to 1-3

The girls had their first match of the season and after a slow start in the first half they found themselves losing by 4-4 to 0-0 at half-time. However after a spirited display in the second half, where they competed for every ball they scored 1-3 with Moneyglass just shading it 2-1. This was an excellent display in the second half with good scores taken and a lot of pressure on the Moneyglassgoal with a few good scoring chances also missed.

vs Aldergrove 16th April won 6-4 to 0-2
The girls started the match in the same frame of mind they finished the previous week. They competed hard for every ball and soon built up a big lead. With a few older girls missing the younger U14s really stepped up to the plate and not only won ball but also showed great awareness with it. Their confidence on the ball and ability to find a team member was a joy to watch. Although this was a very skilful Aldergrove team the Oisins set themselves a high standard which they will have to live up to over the coming weeks.

  • vs Creggan (away) 23rd April
