On the Pitch ⚽️?
All three U14 sides had matches on Monday last. Atletico played at home to St John’s, St Cuan’s and Shiven Rovers. They were unfortunate to lose their games. Real, who are currently top of the Second Division, played matches against St Cuan’s and Dunmore and won both. Our Rovers team, who lead the Premier Division, played Cloonfad and Dunmore. Rovers comfortably beat Cloonfad and, despite dominating Dunmore, lost out on penalties. On Tuesday, at U12 level, Town 1 beat CP Ajax while Town 2 lost to St Cuan’s and Shiven Rovers. The girls U16s were also in 7s action on Wednesday evening and lost out to Skyvalley and Castlerea in Lisnamult. On Thursday, Premier Division leaders Town 1 are away to Ballymoe. All eight of our U11 teams have away matches on Friday. The girls are in Kilkerrin. The Town 1, 2 and 3 boys teams are in Castlerea, CP Ajax and Dunmore, respectively. As for the weekend, the U18 boys team are in Dunmore for a league match. Our Town 2 U9 side hosts Ballaghaderreen and Castlerea.
