SKIBB U14s played Barryroe in the league at home last Thursday evening and gave another fine team performance with some very good passages of passing football.
Playing into a gale in the first half Skibb still managed to lead at half time 5-7 to 2-4 with four goals from Eoghan O’Connell and one from Rory Byrne.
Kilmeen U12 Footballers travel to Croke Park
Recently, the Kilmeen U12 footballers travelled to Croke Park to take part in a Munster Football Blitz. On the day these young stars played Cromane (Kerry), Foilmore (Kerry) and Cooraclare (Clare).
They performed exceptionally well and won two of their three matches comprehensively. They then went on a tour of the stadium and museum. This well-organised event was hugely successful for the children, parents and mentors involved. Thanks to Pauric Reilly for all his work with these players over the past number of years.
THE under 14 footballers played neighbours Ilen Rovers in a very competitive league match in Rath last Thursday evening.
Playing with a strong breeze in the first half Skibb led at half time by four points but it proved insufficient as Ilen dominated the second half and ran out winners on a score of 5-8 to 2-9.
The U13s played Kilmeen in the first round of the West Cork championship on Monday evening in Castlehaven.
Kilmeen started well with two goals inside the first five minutes. O’Donovan Rossa played very well with some very good individual performances and dominated possession for periods in the game.
However their failure to convert their scoring opportunities in the first half was the deciding factor in the end with Kilmeen winning 8-8 to 2-2.

I see where RTE has issued a statement they are going to charge people from outside of Ireland for watching the Sunday Game and the like online even though it is days old when we get to see it.
I know RTE is short of cash as a lot of people in Ireland do not have TV anymore so do not pay a TV licence and now watch all programs online as they cannot afford the TV licence so that is where the biggest cash loss is for RTE.
