U12

Our under 12 boys travelled to Thurles to play in Semple Stadium early in August. There was a panel of 20 boys and each got some playing time on the soil of Semple Stadium. We played 5 games and came out on top in each. When all the games were finished the boys got a tour of the stadium that everyone enjoyed.

Monday the 17th of August the under 12 boys played Watergrasshill at Bride Rovers main pitch. Our boys got stuck in from the start of the first half and by half time we were well ahead on the score board. It was a different story in the second half as Watergrasshill were fighting for every ball and our boys switched off for a period of the second half but they improved their game again and ran out winners by a comfortable margin. Well Done Boys
