Our last U7 training session with special guest Billy Ryan took place this week. Billy gave some great advice and presented medals to all the kids. A great year with some great games. It was fantastic to see how the kids progressed from last March to this week. Best of luck to the senior guys moving up to U9 and we look forward to seeing some new kids next year also. Big thank to the parents who made it all happen. See ye all back in the New Year!
