U12s beat the rain and take to the beach
With all pitches closed and most matches postponed Brian Barnes and the U12 squad were still determined to get in some early season training last weekend. So it was down to Portmarnock beach where most of the lads assembled to take advantage of the sunny Saturday morning sea air. They ran up and down the dunes, did some drills and had an enjoyable training game while bemused joggers, strollers and dog-walkers looked on. They managed to not lose anyone in the dunes but they stopped short of a dip in the sea although the water did look inviting !
These U12's have a huge squad this year and have entered 3 teams in the league which is a first for St Sylvesters. Even with one of their teams playing away against Na Fianna on Saturday they still had over 20 players training. Brian, Paul and the rest of the coaches have put in a hugh amount of work with this squad and they are surely in for a very successful year. Well done lads.
