MJS Building and Development Under-12 League

Our Under-12 Boys began their big league football careers tonight. The pitch is bigger, the goals are wider, the teams are 15-a-side and positions have to be managed, the referees are stricter (Paddy Joyce made his comeback to refereeing in Springfield wearing the nice new distinctive jersey) and the games are longer than the Go-Games Blitzes. Mullingar Shamrocks Greens played St Loman’s and Mullingar Shamrocks Whites travelled to Ballymore to play Millmore Gaels. We had 32 players available on this busy Easter weekend. All the hard working at training was very evident in Springfield and Ballymore with lots of great kicking and tacking, good scores and passing movements and lots of good movement on and off the ball.

The boys who played against St Loman’s were: Aaron Smith, Caolán Murphy, Cillian Keegan, Conor Carey-Peyton, Donnacha Doyle, Dylan Conlon, Conor Hogan, Evan Palmer, Harry Gavin, James Casey, Jamie Byrne, Josh Burke, Lucas Hassett, Nathan Naughton, Rogan Moore, Ryan Kelly, Tom Frayne.

The lads who made the journey to Ballymore were: Adam O’Donoghue, Fionn O’Donoghue, Ainle Smith, Cian Gavin, Daniel Conaty, Dylan O’Reilly, Ethan Nally, Geoffrey Rogers, Josh McName, Lia redden, Matthew Leavy, Seaghán Óg Collins, Stephen Cornally, Tadhg Connolly.
