The most recent outing for our U12’s was played in Tullaroan on Monday the 23rd of July. Unfortunately we turned out with only 13 girls but all credit must go to these girls who gave it their all against a strong Tullaroan side. They battled bravely and gave Tullaroan nothing easy but sadly Tullaroan were too strong for us on the night coming out the winners. Onwards and upwards now though as our focus turns to a quarter final in three weeks which we are all looking forward to. Date, Time and Venue of the quarter final TBC.

We were all down in Gowran on Saturday on a very hot sunny day for our second League game. Our girls put in a superb performance in the first half, among the highlights were some brilliant saves by our goalkeeper which kept us ahead by a goal at the break. The second half started off great, again some excellent play by all girls right across the pitch. Sadly the heat got too much for us and we finished on the losing side on this occasion on a scoreline of Gowran 4-8 St. Brigid’s 4-1. Great credit has to go to this excellent group of girls who put on an brilliant display in the very warm conditions. A big well done to all to the parents and we are all looking forward to our next match. Onwards and upwards!

Our U12’s played their first league match against Dicksboro at home on Friday evening last 22nd June. What a brilliant performance by all girls, in the first half especially where they battled hard and displayed some great skill. In the second half Dicksboro battled that bit tougher and got that extra bit of luck that was needed to finish out the game. Dicksboro came out winners in the end but that said the St. Brigid’s girls played brilliant and they tried hard with every skill they had. Well done girls.          Final Score: Dicksboro 5-3 St. Brigid’s 1-3
