Upcoming Information of our underage teams

Minor Football
We have played in the Div. 2 League so far against Kilbride, Oran, St. Croans and Byle, winning most matches resulting in a good standing in the League with one remaining game to be played after the exams against St. Aidans.

This team managed by Shane Loftus and Fergus Beirne has many talented players and deserves plenty of parish support once the games recommence.

Best wishes to all concerned with the Leaving Cert and third level exams.


U16 Football
Our U16 team also plays Div. 2 this year. They have played 3 games to date.
Unfortunately we lost out narrowly to St. Aidans in the first round of the championship who then went on to beat Strokestown in the final.

It might have been so different that day in Ballyfarnon had David O’ Dowd not been out through injury. However congrats to St. Aidans we understand that the final was a magnificent game. We look forward to meeting Aidans again in the final stages of the league when we will test the metal.

Again this team is laid off for the duration of the exams and best wishes to all the boys involved. Managers Sean Murtagh and Joe O’ Dowd.


U14 Football
This team is managed by James Deane and Fintan Sweeney, both minors themselves. Great credit to the two lads who despite the time constraints of third level college have made themselves readily available to put something back into the club.

The team has been training together now since the beginning of April and are making steady progress. They have played 3 league games to date and look forward to completing the league over the next few Thursday evenings against Kilmore, St. Ronans, Roscommon Gaels, Ballinameen and St. Faithleachs (June 19th).
All games at 7pm.
Many thanks to Shane Devanney, Sean Murtagh, Seamus Sweeney, Patricia Beirne and many others for assisting in training. Parents are encouraged to bring their children to the games for support.

Alongside the U10s these children have attended training each week in the sports complex over the winter months and the results are immediately evident on the playing field.

This team has played first touch GoGames seven a-side football over the past two weeks in Boyle and they held their own in every are of the pitch. Some of these children are as young as 6 but the level of skill and competence handling the football for children so young is immense. The club is indebted to all its coaches young and old who participated in the complex with these children.
