Our final match report for 2018 for our fantastic under 9’s.
Thanks to everybody for a great turnout. We had 30 players playing yesterday morning which was our best attendance of the year. We played against a strong Na Fianna Glasnevin team and it was by far our most competitive work-out of the year to date. Our biggest areas of improvement since the Summer have been in our general passing game with hand & foot. We played heads up football and looked to bring other players into the game all the time. We have done a huge amount of work with the boys on use of the left foot for passing and shooting and again the improvement in this was obvious with several of the lads getting their first competitive scores with the weaker hand / foot. It’s great for the coaches to see the lads taking the work we do in training on board and putting it into practice in matches like today. Some of the boys have really grown in confidence with the ball in hand and this shows up in their positive play.
The coaches would like to thank all the ladies who put on an unbelievable spread of food after the match . It was really appreciated by both teams. Also big thanks to Bel , Seanie and Paul for refereeing the games.
Although it was our last match for 2018 this team has still the end of season bus trip to the sugar-loaf next Sunday 18th Nov to look forward to.
All the management of the team would like to wish the best of luck to our co-coach Stephen Coyne who got married yesterday after the game, He might have missed his wedding if we didn’t kick him out after the match! That’s what we call dedication💏
