Edenderry 3-08 Durrow 4-15

The U16 footballers sponsored by EDEN CLAIMS played Durrow away in Rd.1 of the league last week, unfortunately we didn't get the points on this occasion.

This was the first game of the year for the lads & it showed with a poor opening half,our lads were rusty to start & made some basic mistakes but when we got into our stride put some excellent moves together & kicked some wonderful scores.

There were countless positives to be taken from this defeat with the large numbers of players that donned the red jersey on the night 23 in all , this is a super sign of the commitment & dedication that is needed to build a strong championship squad.The way in which the team played this game when they found there feet was very encouraging with good tackling & work to win the the ball. With plenty of support play to create scoring chances ,every single member of the squad when called on gave it there all & working hard to help each other.

There is huge potential for this group of young reds to have a rewarding year once the numbers keep turning up to training & they keep the attitude that they have started the year with.

A special thanks to all the parents who travelled to the game & assisted in the transport of the team many thanks the management & club are grateful.
