We had a high energy session with fun and games designed to work on fundamentals of movement, all our skills in a fun and positive environment. The rosy cheeks and smiles said it all!

The u9s had great numbers this week with all our newcomers showing brilliant enthusiasm and a great skill level as well.

U10 Girls trained Sunday morning 27th at Kerry Sports Academy. 11 girls played fun games coached by Noel, Labhraidh and Nigel. They practiced pick up’s, solo’s, hand passing and kicking. Finishing with a match the girls showed great improvement already on only their second session. They made the job of picking a player of the week very hard this week. Well done to Rosie Dennehy this week’s player of the week. Rosie’s solo, kicking and passing were brilliant today and had 2 goals in the match to show for her hard work. Well done Rosie and everyone keep up the good work and keep up the practice at home. See you all next week.
U11 Boys
Due to the recent inclement weather, our u11’s only got to start their season last Sunday and we had a great turnout of 21 keen and eager young men. It was great to see so many of last year’s U9’s join the ranks as well as two new players. They started with a solo game to warm up, then some target practice in front of goals and they finished with some conditioned games.
Thanks to coaches Michael, Fiacc, Brian and Joe for putting the lads through their paces. Training continues in the MTU Astro on Sundays from 11am to 12pm for now. Their first game will be in a few weeks where they will enter the Tralee/St Brendan’s U11 League before the County League starts in April.
U13 Boys
The under 13’s had their first training session at the MTU Astro, with coaches John, Conor and Fergal. It was a good active session where they practiced ball control, movement and tackling. The boys showed good enthusiasm towards the training.

U12 and U14 Girls
Our U12’s and U14’s had a great training session last Sunday morning. They welcomed Denis Healy on board and he introduced all the girls to a fantastic training session.

Looking forward to a bright future ahead.

John Mitchels scored two points before the final whistle to bring the game to a score line of St Pats 0-04 to John Mitchels 0-04.
As the second half began John Mitchels got another point but Liam Poff came up the field to score a goal to put us ahead for the first time. Fergal O Brien added to the tally with a point.

As we moved towards the nineteenth minute Brian Murphy received a second yellow and red card to see himself getting a break early from the match. Both teams were strong and each wanted to come out on top, both marked each other well despite the rainy conditions. With the clock running down Breandan Savage received a red card from the referee also number fourteen got a yellow card. St Pats were down to thirteen men but continued to push through unfortunately it was not meant to be and the final whistle blew with a score line of St Pats 1-06 to John Mitchels 1-09.
