U12 BOYS VICTORIOUS

U12 Boys proudly displaying their trophy at Tuam Stadium last Sunday - 10th October

Pride of place this week goes to our U12 boys who beat St. Brendans 2-10 to 3-5 in the North Board Final last Sunday in Tuam Stadium.  St. Brendans led 1-4 to 0-3 at half time  after dominating for most of the first half, but in the first 5 minutes of the second half Glenamaddy put their stamp on the game scoring a goal and 2 points which put them in the lead for the first time. Bravely our boys fought hard to keep this lead at all times. Although St.Brendans hit the back of the net on two more occasions they were denied more scores due to the excellent work of goalkeeper Ciaran Feirne. 

Glenamaddy had some fine individual displays, and an excellent overall panel display, with names like Mark Dolan, Patrick Raftery, Jack Divilly, Michael Heneghan, Padraic Geraghty and Cormac Haslam making for a bright future for Glenamaddy underage football. Several of this panel are U12 again next year and we wish the panel members involved in the U13 team the best of luck in their competition. A special thanks to Pat Geraghty, Alphy O’Brien, Pat Collins and Michael Heneghan for training this team and also to the parents and supporters  for their continued involvement and support throughout the year. The team travelled home to a warm welcome en-route from proud supporters who had lit fires to mark this great win. The panel and supporters continued their celebrations in the Oakland hotel where hot food was served. Thanks again to all concerned.
