We went up to the AstroTurf recently for two blitzes with our local schools – Frosses, St. Peters and Killian.

Our teams performed well on both days and it was a great opportunity for the pupils of all the schools to come together and play some sport.

5-A-Side Soccer
5-A-Side Soccer

On the 12th April our boys soccer team travelled to Ballyare in Letterkenny on the school bus. We had won our local division unbeaten at Eany Celtic the previous Friday on a very wet day.

When we arrived in Ballyare, our first match was against Keadue. The match was very even and the points were shared as we drew 1-1, our goal coming from Odhrán. Our second match was against Dobhar. The result was the same as our first game, with Dermot scoring the goal against a very strong team.

The next game was against Umlagh. Again we drew , this time with a scoreline of 2-2 with goals from Alex and Dermot. In our final game we were beaten by Comín. They were an all round strong team and went on to win the game 3-1. This team actually went on to win the whole tournament.

We cannot forget Oisín as he made some very important saves and William was very pivotal in our performances as he took every opportunity to close down the opposing defenders. 

At the end of a great day we got to stop in the shop. We done to our panel Oisín, William, Fearghal, Alex, Dara, Dermot, Aaron and Odhrán.

Report by Dermot.
