Elphin LGFA:
Our U10’s took part in a county Go Games blitz in St. Faithleach’s, Ballyleague last Saturday in extremely cold conditions. Despite the weather, it was a great day with a great turnout. Thank you to all the parents who came and braved the elements to support the girls. A draw was held afterwards to select 2 teams to represent the county in the U10’s Go Games Activity Day in Croke Park on the 15th April. I am delighted to report that our Elphin Kilmore U10’s were one of the lucky teams chosen for it along with Kilbride.
U8 and U10 trainings take place on Monday’s 6.30 to 7.30pm in the Orchard.
The U16’s played their first Division 1 Championship match Sunday in Elphin against a strong St.Dominics side where they suffered a tough defeat. The game was played in adverse conditions with strong winds, bitter cold temperatures and even some snow. The Elphin Kilmore side played with injuries, illnesses and absences and fought hard but St. Dominics were persistent and came out on top.
Next game away to Eire Óg next Sunday 17th March.
