Success on the football fields

The GAA season restarted for Kildalkey N.S. this week with the Mini 7s football leagues taking place.

The girls did brilliantly in their regional section beating Ballivor, Rathmore and Gaelscoil na Bóinne en route to winning out their section. They will now play in the finals on Monday, 31st March. Best of luck to them!

Not to be outdone, the boys then won their section, defeating Boardsmill and Rath Cairn in two keenly contested matches. As the regional section had been delayed, they then had to play the finals the following day. Putting in superb performances, they defeated Castletown before going on to play Skryne. Putting in a skillful performance, they fought all the way. Unfortunately, it transpired that they had lost by a point at the final whistle, when many believed they had actually drawn, which would have put them through to the semi final. Nevertheless, they can hold their heads up high after some superb performances.

Well done to all involved. The camogie and hurling training are in full swing so we can look forward to the Mini 7s and then Cumann na mBunscol matches in both codes.
