💚💛 Round 4 league results 💚💛

The mens senior team started the day off with their win over Clan na Gael, in what was an gripping game with the final score of 2:08 to 0:12 . In a strong team performance where players fought to the end showing great heart, the stand out MVP goes to Alan Costello..when a cool head was needed in the last 5minutes he stood up and delivered an inch perfect pass which resulted in young Ireland getting a goal to win the game.

Next up was our junior men’s team who also had a win over Clan na Gael with a final score line of 6:14 to 2:11. The MVP for this game goes to Cian O Driscoll . From start to finish was the engine room of the team . Solid at the back and driving forward to create attack after attack his contribution makes him the standout MOTM .

Final match of the day saw our ladies take on Penrith team. It wasn’t to be for our ladies with a scoreline of 3:07 to 0:09. The ladies MVP goes to Aoife Healy. Aoife led the defence into a strong performance, leading from the pressures backline with many a strong run to work the ball out from defence and turning it into attack.
Of course, as luck would have it, the gale-force wind that was blowing in the team's faces completely died down by the start of the second half so any advantage our ladies could've hoped for after the break was wiped and we unfortunately come up short of the scores required to turn over the first half deficit. However, Aoife was superb across the 60mins for the YI Team!!

Congratulations to the three MVPs and a huge thank you to our friends at Sportslab for providing the massage vouchers 🙌🏻🤩 ... See MoreSee Less

🎉Round 3 of the 2019 league🎉
It was a hat trick result for young Ireland 🎉💚💛
Starting the day off was our senior men’s team who over came Bondi Gael’s in a 3:20 to 0:04 score line.
Our forwards came out in full force kicking an impressive 3-20 with some outstanding performances throughout the game. However this weeks most valued player (MVP) has to go to Gerard McGovern who was solid throughout the game - a rock in defence.

The second game of the day was our ladies team who overcame St. Pats in a 3:06 to 4:13 victory. Selected MVP was Gillian Delaney. Influential throughout, nailing multiple points in the first half to help the team settle after going an early goal down. Gill pushed and drove the midfield pace, she was a constant runner and option for her team mates. Gill rounded a dynamic performance with a second half goal which pushed the team on to close out a great 9 point win.

And last but not least, was the junior men’s team who also defeated Bondi gaels in a 2:13 to 0:05 scoreline. It was a great team performance but this weeks MVP goes to Jack McGovern who was solid in our defence and also proved a threat going forwards.

A big thank you to our friends at Sportslab who have kindly rewarded the selected MVPs with a sports massage voucher ☺️ 🙌🏻 enjoy and well deserved 🎉🏐
