Roche Emmets vs Clan na Gael

The U12 girls gave their most committed and impressive display of the year on Thursday night as they overcame Clan na Gael in Roche.

Following a tricky start, they grew into proceedings, not holding back where the ball was concerned and illustrating the strides they’re making in possession and passing terms.

Perhaps the visit of Louth senior team player – and Roche stalwart – Aoife Halligan was just the boost the team needed given her recent appearance at training.
