End of year GAA matches
December 15th 2018
We had two fantastic GAA matches in the last week.
Firstly, our girls GAA side took on Our Lady of Victories from Ballymun.
Our girls were narrowly defeated in a hugely competitive game. A strong team performance was illuminated by the performances of Ella Banikole, Jodie Grove and Kasey Barrett Doyle.
Secondly, our boys GAA side took on local rivals St. Fergals.
In a game that ebbed and flowed we scored a late point to secure a well-earned draw. A battling team performance was led by Artiom Travkin in goal, Leon McLaren and Ben O Hara in defence and Rhys Boyd and Jayden Paget up front.
