Junior/u18/u16 - Chilly gusty weather did nothing to put off 29+ Girls/Juniors turn out for training on Wed 9th May in Endas. Virtually a full match was played for 45 mins with two equally matched teams. Ed-Sheeran fever was taking hold as the weekend loomed large ahead.
u16 - On the Sat, a short tactics session was held to outline match plan for League Div. 2 Semi-final against Caltra Cuans. The East Galway team were a bit reluctant to visit Cappagh Park as The Prairie was taken over for Ed-Mania! The match took place Sunday 13th at 10am in Cappagh. 19 Girls togged and SK came away with a fine victory finishing on a Score line of 6-19[37] to CC 5-3[18]. Referee was Kate Kilbane of Barna. All 19 Girls got a run and one very generous Mother agreed to wash the Jerseys… Many Thanks.
