NURSERY GROUP:
Our Under 6 teams made the trip to Roanmore last Saturday morning to take part in a blitz. We had four teams lining out for us, and each and everyone of the players put in a fantastic effort from start to finish, showing plenty of skill on the pitch, with a number of great goals scored. Well done to everyone and thanks to Roanmore for hosting the games.
It was another busy week on the training field with excellent numbers turning up, and in the weekly stars of the week winners, it was congratulations to Jamie and Amber in the Under 7's group, while in the Under 8's, well done to Reece and Sophie.
A huge thanks to all the Mentors and trainers who have put in a huge effort with the teams, and, bit by bit, it is beginning to pay dividends on the field.
