1st Year Football:
While the result didn’t go our way, we commend our 1st Year footballers on their performance against a string FCJ Bunclody team last Saturday. Loreto started brightly but, playing against the wind in the second half, the task became too difficult. Nevertheless, the panel can be proud of their efforts with some very talented players coming through. We thank the staff of St Patrick’s Park, Enniscorthy for hosting the match and the management team of Mr. Broderick, Mr. E. Cummins and Ms. N. Kelly for all their time devoted to the team.
