Kildangan Nurney Ladies Football Club Notes

With the Autumn leagues just starting, thing are getting hectic on the Ladies football front. We had record numbers training in Kildangan last week; however there’s always room for a few more.

An exciting new innovation in Girls football this year will be a series of GO games for Under 11 girls.
These games will be non competitive small sided fixtures aimed at introducing girls to football. There is no minimum age limit, and it’s aimed at being a fun introduction to Gaelic football. John Nealon and Mary Jo Merrins are looking after this group and we would love to see more of the younger girls getting involved, it’s a great way to meet new friends and get a bit of fresh air and exercise. Contact John on 086 2430522 for details. The girls play their first round of Games this Sunday in CAstlemitchell,
