Well done to all 25 girls. Leanne O'Callaghan, Rhian Dawkins, Rachel Lordan, Alison Kenny, Emma O'Donovan, Jane Mulvihill, Aishling O'Donovan, Ellen Fehily, Shauna Reilly, Kim Muckian, Cliona Reardon, Leanne Murphy, Aine Lynch, Emma Kelly, Ellie O'Sullivan, Tara Gili, Clare Flynn, Kate Lynch, Niamh Crowley, Laoise Collins, Orla O'Sullivan, Aine Ryan, Caoimhe McCarthy, Molly Lynch, Niamh Hales. Castlelack where victorious over Sandycove N.S in the semi-finals after extra time and following a highly competitive game against Shanbally in the final following extra time, both sides still could not be separated so it was decided that they will would share the trophy. Knockavilla N.S over came Ballinadee in the semi-finals, before meeting Gael-Scoil Carrigaline in the final. Knockavilla put in a polished display from the throw-in and ran out comfortable winners. Well done to all involved in both teams. Great to see the hard work and dedication paying off girls. Keep up the good work. Ladies football under 14s Valleys ladies footballs under 14s got their year off to a winning start this Sunday in Bishopstown. A great number of girls and great support turned up for a late afternoon game and Valleys came out winners after an entertaining encounter. The game was even in the first half and Bishopstown had the slight edge on the scoreboard. There was 25 players there for valleys and it was the strength of the squad, with 10 fresh girls coming on at half time, allowed valleys to take advantage of tiring Bishopstown legs. The fresh players and penetrating forward play worked well for the team and valleys were able to clock up scores on the board while the defence were also rock solid.
