The U10 girls brought the curtain down on what was arguably their most successful year to date with an all girls blitz in Glenswilly on Saturday morning. It was a glorious morning in the Glen and ideal conditions for football. Teams from Glenswilly, St Eunan's and Letterkenny Gaels produced some excellent football that entertained the watching crowd. A special word of thanks goes to Laobhaise Maguire and the Glenswilly GAA club for hosting the blitz.
This year has been a great year for girls football for the Gaels. The coaches, parent and players will now take a well earned break until February 2019. Any girls interested in joining any of the girls teams at Letterkenny Gaels should contact Conor Crossan on (087) 133 2680.
