ACADEMY REVIEW U8 GIRLS
This was the first year that the under 8 girls had the opportunity to play other teams on a regular basis and we definitely feel they enjoyed football a lot more as a result. They participated in Blitzes in Listowel and Abbeydorney as well as games against Mitchels, Na Gaeil, Austin Stacks, Desmonds and Duagh. It is great to see the encouragement the girls are getting at home and this was particularly evident with the turnout we got at away fixtures. Great credit is due to team mentors Don Brosnan, John Scanlon and Terence O Connor who devoted their time throughout the year to further the skills of these young girls. In particular we would like to thank Ciara and Michelle who provide much needed encouragement and mentoring to the younger girls and to Niamh and Claire who help out when needed.
