Elphin LGFA
Our first ever u8 & u10 Elphin LGFA teams took to the field for the first time last Monday in the Orchard Park. They each played a challenge game V Shannon Gaels and played their hearts out. It was fantastic to see such a great turnout of both players and spectators for their first performance.
On Wednesday our u14 lost out to St. Dominics in their league game in Kilmore. Their next game is away to Kilbride on Wednesday at 7pm.
Our u12 team who were missing several girls due to illness lost their first championship game in very wet conditions on Sunday evening to a very strong St.Barry’s. All the girls put in a great effort with a special word to the u8 & u10 girls who played. Next game 27th May at home to St. Ciarans at 7pm.
