Corduff Ladies:

U12- Congratulations to the girls who recently defeated Tyholland in the final. The team put in a superb performance to overcome a tough side. The score board showed a deficit of one point at half time. However some inspiration from captain Eva Woods, and team mentors seemed to do the trick. The girls battled to the very end, eventually winning by two points. Player of the match was awarded to Nicole Carragher. Well done. A huge thanks to the team management Colleen Callan, Laura Mc Enaney and Ashling Callan. Also the presence of a great supporting crowd helped to spur the girls on. Thanks to all who attended. It is hoped that there will be an evening of presentations to celebrate the teams success. Details to come.

Minors - Also won their most recent match, well done! They played Doohamlet, and again another great performance from the team seen them come out triumphant.

Seniors - are currently awaiting a date for the league final. Despite the typical October weather training continues weekly and all members are asked to give a good effort to attend.

Speedy Recovery- we send our best wishes to team mentor Conor Comiskey who is recovering from a recent accident. Get well soon.

It would have been very easy to put the heads down at half time when we were at a 2point deficit. However the girls settled into it a bit better and the final score board showed a 1-9 to 1-7 win for the Gaels. Thanks to our supporters and those who provided tea and sandwiches for the teams and officials afterwards.

Speedy recovery - we hope to have Louise Byrne back on top form very soon. She was injured in the semi-final on Sunday last in a great effort to block a goal in the final minutes.

Well done - to all of the girls who recieved Junior Certificate results recently.
