Underage Roundup

O’Connell’s GFC underage teams had a tough week with both the U18 and U16 teams falling to defeat against St. Josephs and Geraldines respectively. The St. Micheals U14 team was due to return to action on Wednesday, April 2nd, but that return was delayed due to the team being awarded a walk-over victory by Cuchulainn Gaels. The u18 team then travelled to Cluskey Park on Thursday, April 3rd to take on a very strong St. Josephs side. Despite the best efforts of all involved, the side were unable to come away with the victory, losing out on a 3-12 to 0-5 scoreline. Next up to try their luck was an injury depleted U16 side, who took on Geraldines in Stabannon. Despite only having 13 available players, the team fought to the end but were unable to come away with a positive result, losing out on a 0-13 to 7-14 scoreline.
