🏐 On the pitch

U11s vs Sarsfields
Our u11s had a tough match against  Sarsfields last weekend in Straffan.
The girls dug deep in the second half and didn't give up.
Well done ladies! 👏

U12s vs Clane
Hard luck to our U12s who played an excellent Clane team in Straffan last weekend.
The girls never took a step backwards and went toe to toe against them from start to finish, but narrowly lost out in the end.
Great skill on show from both sides. The future of Kildare football is bright 👏

U10s Blitz
Our two U10 teams took part in a blitz at the weekend in Ardclough. 
We welcomed Carbury, Cappagh and Rathcoffey on what was an entertaining morning of football.

U8s Blitz
Our U8’s enjoyed a blitz in Leixlip against Leixlip, Maynooth and Balyna.
Well done girls 🏐👧

U14s vs Kill (Division 2)
Our U14s beat Kill last weekend in Ardclough to top the Division 2 table after 3 games.
Super work rate as always from the players. 💪


U14s vs St Laurences (Division 6)
Our U14 Division 6 team travelled to St. Laurences last weekend.
The girls did well in the first half but unfortunately were playing into a strong wind in the second half and found the conditions difficult.
Hard luck girls. The coaches are proud of your attitude as always. 🫡


Minors vs Ellistown
Our Minors had an impressive win last night vs Ellistown in Ardclough GAA.
That sets up a semifinal next Thursday night ( opposition TBC).
Well done to the team 👏💪
