Letterkenny Gaels Club Notes.
The senior and reserve footballers hosted league leaders Aodh Rua on Saturday evening. In two very competitive games the home team had narrow defeats in both games This weekend we travel to Clonmany to play Urris. Throw in times are 6pm and 7.30pm
Letterkenny Gaels hosted a successful under 8 and 10 football blitz against Red Hughs last Saturday at Pairc na nGael. Over 100 children, accompanied by a large crowd of parents and grandparents, enjoyed some top quality football in the beautiful sunshine at the Glebe. Well done to all the players and coaches.
A busy week for Gaels camogs started with a home win for U14 girls against Four Masters and the first blitz of the year for the U8’s and U10s in Carndonagh. Over 20 girls took part in the Letterkenny School Cup on Tuesday in O’Donnell Park representing Woodlands, Illistrin and Gaelscoil. Woodlands won the competition and followed that by retaining the Cumann na Bunscol large school camogie title on Thursday defeating St Patricks Carndonagh in an exciting and skilful match – final score Woodlands 4.4 – 2.0 St Patricks. 17 of 19 girls in the squad are Gaels camogs. The week concluded with Gaels U12s competing in the Jim Nelson camogie tournament hosted by St Pauls in Belfast. The girls won two of their three blitz matches losing only to eventual winners Ballycastle but fell short to Creggan in the knock out stages. Great credit to all players, most of whom played 10 matches inside the week. .
