U12 Premier

A great 3–1 away win for our Under-12 Premier team this evening against Gweedore Celtic.
Goals from Finn Dillon, Zach McKinley and Tom Neary capped a very strong all-round squad performance.
Before the match, the players and coaches paid their respects to teammate Danny McGonigle and his family following the recent passing of Danny’s father, Terry. Our thoughts remain with Danny and the McGonigle family at this difficult time.
May Terry rest in peace.
