It was tough from the start with the Rower getting a quick goal after one minute but the girls were strong and settled quick with Molly Butler scoring a goal in the second minute after an excellent pass from midfield. Read more

U10 Mini Blitz Tullaroan Field Day – Sunday 29th August 2016
Report by Phil Maher
Graigue Ballycallan, Galmoy, Freshford and Tullaroan
Graigue Ballycallan U10’s were invited to Tullaroan’s Field Day to play in a mini blitz on Sunday 29th August. With a full squad available, we were confident of a good performance and it didn’t disappoint with the team making it to the final.
The first game was against Freshford and Graigue made great use of the wind in the first half, enjoying a comfortable lead to the break. The wind assisted Freshford in the second half as they gradually clawed back their deficit. However, a few well-crafted points from Ben Young and relentless defending from Paidí, Sean and Robbie kept the home team ahead to the final whistle. Score ended Graigue Ballycallan 0–7 to Freshford 1–2 and this win was made all the more enjoyable as the team had to dig deep to hold their lead. Read more
