SIOBHAN COTTER BLITZ
The Siobhan Cotter Memorial Blitz took place on Sunday the 09th of October in Churchill. The blitz saw our under 7, 8, 9, and 10 panels playing on the day. Our opponents on the day were Churchill, Ardfert, and Austin Stacks. Our U10’s began with a game against Austin Stacks and came up just short by one point. Unfortunately, we went on to lose the subsequent games against Churchill and Ardfert in competitive games. Panel: Conor Martin, Shane Gilroy, William O’ Donoghue, Alex Riordan, Jamie Burke, Micheal Savage, Keelin Lynch, Jack Slattery, David Lucid, Cathal White, Tomas Leen, and Tom Long.
Our U 9’s had three competitive games coming up short against Austin Stacks in their first game. However, we rallied well and defeated Churchill in our second game, and we saved our best football until last with an excellent victory over Ardfert. Panel: Shane Crossan, Luke Silles, Lee Wharton, Sam Slattery, Shane Brosnan, Jack Joy, Stephen Turner, Cian Harris, Martin Mc’Kivergan, Matthew Rodgers, Maurice Harrington, Oisin O’Shea, Eoin Moriarty, Conal Savage, Donncha Enright, Micheal O’Connor, Gearoid Healy, Ciaran O’Connell, Con Sheehan and Luke Griffin.
A great day’s football was enjoyed by our under 7 & 8 footballers who competed very well on the day. When all the results were aggregated the winners on the day were Austin Stack’s and they received the Siobhan Cotter Cup. The hosts Churchill finished as runners up on the day. Many thanks to the Churchill Club for their invitation to the Blitz and the hospitality extended to us on the day. The final academy of the year for the Ballymac
under 8 and 10 boys will take place next weekend the 16th of October in Ballymac at 11am. Well done to all on a great year.
