U12 Boys: Following on from a very successful juvenile season for both boys and girls our U12 Boys had a great result against Clones in a nail-biting Division1 Shield Final on Saturday past.
The Faughs were definitely worth their victory against a courageous and determined Clones side. The lads fought hard for every ball and showed great skill and poise when in possession. Well done to all the group, players and mentors for bring home the silverware. Final score: Faughs 1-5, Clones 1-4.
U12 Girls: Our U12 Girls went down against a strong Killanny side in the final of the U12 Shield on Sunday past. The girls showed some great skill and courage, but came up against a determined Killanny side. The dirls gave their all this season and can look back with pride in what they have achieved. Although we did not get the result this time, the whole team and mentors can definitely look forward to better times ahead with this group of talented players. Final score: Faughs 1-04, Killanny 2-05.
U10 Boys: The U10 lads travelled to Drumhowan on Saturday past to play in the Dan Markey Tournament. The blitz involved 8 teams from all over the north east. The boys put on an excellent performance in all of their matches and showed no small amount of skill in winning the cup. Well done to everyone involved with the team. Another piece of silverware to add to the collection for this year.
Well Done: Well done to all our boys and girls juvenile teams who played this week – while some may not have got the result they wanted, they all should be proud of all their achievements this season. The juvenile year shows the great work that is happening within the club and the future is definitely bright!
