U12 Callan Alive Tournament – Sunday 3rd August 2014
Graigue Ballycallan U12 Team played 2 games in the Callan Alive Tournament on Sunday 3rd Aug.Their first game was against Thomastown and our lads getting off to a flyer with 3 well taken scores from Oisín Egan but to their credit Thomastown fought their way back into the game and took the lead with 5 mins to the break. Then the turning point in the game came when a lack in concentration from our full back line let a Thomastown corner forward in for a soft goal just on halftime.
