Well done to the under 14 Gaelic team who had their second win in as many games over Holy Family, Newbridge in the Leinster Championship on Friday 11th March. This was a hard fought, very competitive encounter which could have gone either way, but the girls showed great character and composure in the last ten minutes to kick the winning scores. Best players were Katelyn Hayes in goal, Lisa Shaw, Amy Loughran, Kelly Riordan, Hazel McLoughlin and Róisín Roche.
The final score was 2.08 to 2.06. Next game is against St Wolstan’s, Celbridge.
