U14’SOnce again in 2016 we entered 2 teams at this level in order to develop this Large Group of Players.The Division 1 Team reached the Championship and League Finals but unfourtunately lost out to the same opposition Donaghmoyne on both days. The Development from one final played in April to the second in September was evident with them only narrowly lost out on day 2.Our second team played in Division 5 and reached the Shield final but it wasn’t to be their day as they lost out to emyvale.Entering the two teams resulted in great developments for a lot of these young players. Thanks to all our Management and coaches who helped throughout the year.
U16’sOur U16’s were our first group of Juvenile Double winners this year . Once again they played in Division 2 and after struggling in 2015 this could have proved another challenging year however with the movement up of some of our younger players this group had a brillinat run the year. They played a Championship Final v Emyvale on 10th September and emerged victorious on a score of latton 2-15 – Emyvale 0-09.
