The U12 Football team travelled to Na Piarsaigh last evening for an away league game.  Prior to the game, the players were presented with the new U12 jerseys by the U12 Mentors and Bord na nOg Chairman Brian O'Mara.  The jerseys were purchased for the U12 players for the rest of the season and for future U12 teams over the coming seasons. 

The football game against Na Piarsaigh was a very tight affair in the first half with nothing between the two teams.  The players upped their performance in the second half with an increase in effort, improved skill and took some nice scores to take a well deserved league win. 

The Ahane mentors would like to thank Na Piarsaigh for facilitating a change in date of the game (even with a busy Na Piarsaigh pitch for many other games / training) and for providing a referee last evening - where 28 players (14 a side) were playing on a tight pitch - it was not an easy task.

Well done to the squad of 16 players last evening - a special mention to Kyle for his leading the team as Captain last evening to reflect his efforts with the U14 squad in hurling and football and to mark his birthday last week, to Paddy for his commitment and playing after coming off a flight from Portugal and to Tony for his penalty save in the second half.  It was nice to get a win with the first outing of the new jerseys.

Football training tomorrow Sunday am 1030-1130 and hurling training Monday 6.30-8pm. Hurling match on Thursday evening away to Ballybrown. U12 Mentors.
