The eagerly awaited Mini 7’s took place last week in Kilmeena GAA. Our girls kicked off proceedings in a highly competitive group. The girls displayed great courage, skill and teamwork with our compatriots in Murrisk NS. Unfortunately, they missed out on qualification to the semi-finals. Thursday was the turn of our boys. We again joined forces with our friends from the other side of the reek, Murrisk NS. They hit the ground running topping their group making it through to the semi-final against Newport NS and then on to the final against Myna NS. In an honest, sporting game, our boys emerged as winners and, for the first time in our history won the Mini 7’s title for the Westport area. It is a massive achievement and a memory that will stay with us for a very long time. The boys now go on to the West Mayo finals in the coming weeks. We want to express our thanks to all of our supporters- parents, siblings and classmates. We also want to take a moment to appreciate the work our coaches have done in developing our skills, teamwork and confidence, showing us that playing together and backing each other up can produce amazing results. Thank you to Martin, Pat and Anne for their continued support and input.
