A strange opening weekend for adult football. A loss, a win, a bye, and a postponement. Not exactly what we would have hoped for. More football this weekend, and a number of juveniles getting their season started. Also starts for the newly minted U17 and U19 teams.
Lots of people in touch this week to ask me to give things a mention, so plenty to talk about.

Full gamut of adult football this weekend
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
Last week saw us open our account in AFL1. With PNU1 off due to the weather, PNU2 got it first competitive senior football game ever, against Naomh Mearnóg. While we dominated for most of the game, a late penalty brought Mearnóg back in, it and they went out victors by 1 point. Final score Vins 1-09, Mearnóg, 1-10.
The Inters game was called off on Sunday morning, with Dolphin park deemed unplayable. The junior 2 had a bye, so the only other adult football came was our junior 1 team who beat Naomh Barróg by 4-7 to 2-2.
Next week sees all 4 adult teams, as well as the U17 and U19 teams in action.
