U12 Football

We  travelled to Aghada on Friday night last, in bright sunshine for a change, for our U12 football league match. We started sluggishly and allowed Aghada to get the upper hand early on. Gradually we came into the game and goals from Katie and Ciara had us right back into the game before half time. We began to play as a team just as the referee blew the half time whistle. At half time the girls were asked to give more for the second half and they certainly did that. From the start we attacked Aghada and only some good defending kept Aghada in the game. We had injuries to Katie and Rachael during this half and we played brilliantly right up to the final whistle when we found ourselves a mere one point adrift for only our second loss of the campaign. The final score was Bride Rovers 4-03, Aghada 4-04. These girls will learn from this heartbreaking defeat. We had a number of girls in tears after the game as they had put in a huge effort but came up a little short through no fault of their own. Our panel  on the night was Ella Quinlan, Chloe Murphy, Rachael O Flynn, Shauna O Connell, Sorcha Tobin, Caoimhe O Sullivan, Fiona Barry, Caoimhe Hazelwood, Sarah Murphy, Aoife Cowman, Anna Murray, Katie Quirke, Rebecca Hill, Lucy Hicks, Ciara O Flynn, Rebecca Howe. Well done girls.
