U15 Camogie
Our U15 girls got their county Féile campaign off to a great start with a win over Cillard on Good Friday evening in the ARC, Ardfert and followed it up with wins over AbbeyKillix and Killarney in Abbeydorney on Saturday morning. They were due to play Sliabh Luachra and Causeway on Easter Monday with the semi-finals and finals to be played at a later date.

U7 Boys
On Thursday evening Tralee Parnells Under 7’s took part in their first matches of the season when they travelled to Crotta for an under 7’s blitz. Both teams acted as true ambassadors to their club and represented the mighty Parnells with pride, for some players it was their first match for the club but they left no doubt that they will be donning the blue and white of Parnells for many years to come. The return to training in January has certainly paid off and these young players put on a great display for the army of supporters who travelled with them.
Thank you to Crotta for hosting and organising.
Congratulations to our players of the week: Killian McMahon and Harry Arthur, well done to you both.

U9 Boys
Our U9s had their first blitz of the year in the Ardfert ARC last Tuesday. Under the watchful eye of their coaches, both teams played 4 games and displayed all the skills that they have been practicing in the ball wall for the last few weeks. Well done boys!
