Our U10 boys crossed the Gweestin river on Wednesday evening to play their third go games fixture.
Playing three games, the boys showed great energy and teamwork on a blustery evening. Thanks to all who travelled, and to Listry for three sporting games.

They showed great commitment, determination, and skill throughout the game, battling hard right to the final whistle. Well done to all the girls on a tremendous effort – keep up the great work!
