The U12 girls played very well against St. Bride’s in Roche on Thursday evening.

Their management, Martin McCourt, Marie McCourt, Caoimhe Treanor and Claire McCourt, were delighted with the display and effort of the team, which consisted of seven players who had never previously played a game.

The girls, who will be buoyed by their opening performance, host Cooley next Thursday at 7:30pm.

Roche panel: Anna Kearns, Caoimhe Dunne, Cara McCourt, Carlee Browne, Chloe Dunne, Daisy Connolly, Éabha Callan, Erin Grier, Faye Kirk, Lucia McArdle, Molly O’Callaghan, Naoise Marmion, Orlaith Kirk, Prayer Adjar, Sophie McKay, Tegan Nash
