U12 Go Games – Team White – Saturday 19th July 2014
The U12 Team White travelled to Graiguenamanagh on Saturday morning 19th July to play their 1st match in the U12 Go Games series.
Due to a shortage of players because of holidays there was a few U10’s asked to travel who certainly held their own at this level and are surely 2 boys with a good future, well done Charlie Cleere and Billy Egan.
Our boys were a little slow to start and conceded a couple of early goals. However, that did not faze them and they all put their heads down to get a few scores they deserved. The game was played for a full hour and only for the lack of a little bit of luck in front of goal, we certainly would have finished closer on the scoreboard. However, there were plenty of positives and some decent performances on the morning with Kevin Ging, Brendan Dunne, Eoin Delahunty, JJ Ryan, Jack Cleere and John Muldowney showing up well.
