Congrats to our 2008 boys who won the Munster U14 ‘Super 10s’ football tournament in Mallow last week. The boys accounted for Dr. Crokes (Kerry), St. Kevin’s (Cork), Monaleen (Limerick) and Keel/Listry (Kerry) in the final under lights.
Clubs were restricted to 12 players in a blitz format on a modified pitch, games were 12 minutes per half. As winners, Éire Óg will receive a set of portable goals for the benefit of all underage sections of the club. Well done to the boys and management. The future is bright 😊
