Hard Luck to the Boys' Team

Hard luck to the boys' soccer teams who participated in the MDL recently.

The first team played three games. A superb win over Ard Rí was sandwiched by two narrow defeats to Coole and Gaelscoil na Bóinne. The boys can feel very satisfied with their performances against tough opposition.

The second team, captained by Oisín, lost their first game but recovered well to go two nil up in the second game. They were pegged back unfortunately and a late goal meant the spoils went to Carnaross. The last match was a very entertaining encounter. Gaelscoil na Ríthe went 1-0 up but a goal from James was enough to share the spoils and end the day on a high.

Well done to both teams, both on their performances and their behaviour.
