U16 boys got their season started with a hard fought draw at home against Clann na Derg. The blues dominated for long periods without making their possession count on the score board and were leading until the vistitors scored a goal in the closing minute to snatch a draw with the final score Loughinisland 2.9 Clann na Derg 3.6. Conal Fay was particularily impressive scoring 3 points from his midfield position. Corey Martin did well in goals and was well protected by defenders Donal Og McKay and Conor Gordon. Up front Rory Deegan bagged 1.2 with the ever lethal Fearghal Marray poaching the other goal.

Under 10s The Under 10s hosted a blitz on Saturday morning with two Carryduff teams and one from Bryansford. The team were a few players short but those who played performed very well. The competition was played on an 11 a-side basis with regular interchanges made in all games to ensure everyone got plenty of game time. The squad played really well as a team throughout the blitz building on the skills and teamwork that they have learnt in training. They demonstrated great determination with some great scores.

The u10 Management team would like to thank the parents and supporters who continue to provide great encouragement for this young squad. Thank you to John Nugent for setting up the goals and pitches from early morning so we were ready to start on time.
