Men’s Division 4 Results
The Division 4 team played two back fixtures in the League this week. The first on Tuesday evening v St. Lomans at home.The visiting team were much stronger on the night and took all the points on offer. The other fixture against Rosemount on Friday away also ended in defeat which concludes a difficult league campaign for this group.
LGFA Results
The U12 girls put in a smashing performance against Garrycastle on Tuesday evening last in the blistering heat at home. Great to see 28 girls togged out on the night all getting plenty of football. Thanks to Garrycastle for travelling.
Our U14’s travelled to Caulry on Thursday evening last. The girls gave a great account of themselves despite losing the game. Final score Caulry 2-10 The Downs 3-01. One game left to play in the league for these ladies before preparing for their championship.
