While it remains relatively quiet on the playing front, U16 boys football has begun, the Div. 1 team were at home to Milford on Sunday in their first game after last week's games fell victim to the weather. The lads got their season off to a good start with a big win and they are free this week due to an uneven number of teams in Div. 1, their next game is at home to St. Mary's, Convoy on Sunday March 25th. The U16 Development team will begin their season on Bank Holiday Monday (19th) with a home game v Glenfin at 12 noon.

Loreto, Letterkenny U16 ½ girls lost their Ulster B Final against St. Catherine's, Armagh early last week but a good year nonetheless for the girls to reach an Ulster Schools final.
