U14/16 training-
We want to start by congratulating our squad members who have had success with the county recently. Firstly, a massive congratulations to Jessica McCreesh, Siobhan Shields and Cara Rooney who competed in the All-Ireland Final. We are immensely proud of the girls.
Also, well done to Lauren McLoughlin who has been participating in the Armagh U13 player development panel.
We would like to wish the U14.5s good luck, as they meet Dromintee in the championship, this Thursday at 7pm on Dromintee. Training continues on Monday evening as normal.
U12.5 training-
We faced Carrickcruppen on Sunday in the last leg of the league. The girls played some fantastic football, worked hard on their tackles and defending. We are immensely proud of the heart they have shown in the competition.
On Sunday the U12.5s had the honour of meeting Charlotte Havern. Charlotte who currently plays for Armagh U14s, has been drafted for the Irish Soccer team and recently sign for Linfield Ladies. Charlotte captained Linfield in their first match against Manchester United academy. Crossmaglen would like to wish Charlotte all the best with her soccer season.
We are in full preparation for the Championship, and part of that will involved some team bonding activities. Keep an eye on the WhatsApp groups for more information.
Training continues on Wednesday evening, 6pm to 7pm, everyone is welcome.
U10/ U8 training– unfortunately the U10.5 hub had to be cancelled this week. However the U8 hub went ahead in Dromintee. The girls had a fantastic day, and plenty of football and fun.
