Our U11 footballers took on a very strong Douglas team this evening in glorious conditions in Manning Park.

The lads battled hard to get up to the speed of our opponents game throughout the evening and as the game progressed the lads started to get to grips with the pace of the game, making some telling interceptions in defence and working the ball through the lines resulting in some excellent scores being taken along the way.

While the game didn’t work out for the group this evening we have no doubt this group of players will bounce back and use this evening as a valuable learning experience.

We now move on and look forward to an away fixture v Courcey Rovers this coming Saturday morning.

Thanks to all who came to support the lads this evening. Thanks to Brian for reffing the match. Thanks also to Douglas GAA for the match and we wish them all the best in the upcoming John Kerins Tournament.
