U12F Div1 St Sylvesters 3-06 St Vincents 3-09 This was a keenly contested game with both sides giving 100 per cent. Despite missing a number of players the team that was picked did the club proud. This was the first time our U12's came off a pitch and knew that the game of Gaelic football is not just about fancy footwork. There was some hard but fair challenges from both sides with some fine fielding from Alan Byrne, Josh Reinhardt and Harry Barnes.

Cathal Rainey was once again solid between the posts and was unfortunate with one goal in particular. Peter Murphy did a great marking job on their most dangerous forward and some surging runs out of defence from John Gleeson relieved the pressure on a number of occasions. David McCormack worked hard at midfield. Luke Peyton and Liam Shalloe won some good ball up front and there were some great scores from  Gavin Hydes (1-2) , Liam Foley (2-1) and Anthony Cox (0-3)

Sean Murphy , Aaron Walsh and Sean Lonergan acquitted themselves well when they joined the action. Liam Foley was involved in a goal mouth incident early in the game which resulted in some fine bandage work from our paramedic Ger Lonergan. Liam retuned to the action and stuck two fine goals in the back of the Vincent's net, he later received a couple of stitches at the VHI clinic.

We learned a lot from this game and will be a better team from this defeat. We showed we can compete with the best. The mentors were very proud of the lads tonight.
