Our U12 girls played their first scheduled County Board match this Sunday against St. Faithleach’s in Ballyleague on a lovely dry evening.  We had atleast 20 girls who came out to represent Roscommon Gaels.  As our mentors Joanne Walsh & Fergal O’Gara put it....the girls couldn’t have played any better and they should be very proud of themselves.  It was fantastic to see the girls working hard to gain possession and then following this up with some great passing sequences and coming together to convert some great scores.  Well done to the girls on a good team performance and win.  Great to see all girls getting game time.  Thanks to all the parents for full attendance and support before, during and after the game.  Your assistance adds to the skills development of the team and management during training and matches.  We are in the Eastern Division along with St. Barry’s, St Mary’s, Strokestown, Kilbride & St Faithleach’s.  Next up we are at home to St Barry’s on Sunday 14th of April at 6pm.

Registration
Registration is a must for the year ahead. In order to play any match, friendly or competitive, each player must be properly registered, particularly for insurance reasons. Unfortunately we cannot allow a player who is unregistered to play a match. To that end, all Squad members must be registered. We have a list of those currently registered and will be asking those that are not to register as soon as possible.. If you have any doubts about whether your daughter is registered or not, please contact your coaches.

Communication to Parents
Communication will be via text messages, emails, and notes at training. We would please ask that you provide us with your phone number and email address so that we can make sure that you receive all communications we send out, if you have not done so already.
