U12 Ladies: Apologies for giving the impression this squad were finished for the season. They have won through to the next stage of the County Knockout blitz which should offer a great finale to the season. Well done again girls and mgt.
U16 Ladies: these guys and their mgt are used to the season lasting longer so it was fantastic to see them finish off the season with a great day out as a team. A really positive vibe all round as the girls headed to the Ulster Development blitz in Magherafelt before getting their Sunday Dinner in the Gables. Fantastic gesture by the mgt and it was well received with many thanks from the girls and their parents. Roll on the winter programme and 2020.
Senior Ladies: 2020 season is already the focus. Look out for winter training plans soon.
