U6: We had a busy session this morning with close in 30 players. Everyone was in high spirits to support Kerry! We worked on our flexibility & jumping skills, quick feet & running. Ball hopping & counting steps are coming on well with everyone trying hard & enjoying scoring goals. Great to have good concentration by some of the older boys particularly Bruce & the two Dylan’s today. Player of the week went to Clodagh for great listening & attention. Keep up the good work! Go St Pats!!
U8: The enthusiasm of our under eight players continues to shine at our weekly Sunday morning sessions in the Cumann Iosaef Hall. Last Sunday we had a very good attendance and it is becoming more obvious that some of our players are practising at home during the week. Great effort was put in during the session by Keelin Sinnott, Aoife Kennedy and Sharon Enright who was awarded the player of the week trophy…so well done to Sharon. It was good to see Niamh back in training and we hope to see Niamh at more of the sessions. Don’t forget everyone to keep up the practice at home.

Everyone gave a tremendous effort practicing their skills with Rachel Mulgrew, Darragh Murphy, Jack Costello and Killian O’Mahony giving it their all during the sessions.
