A squad of twenty Lads, together with their Coaches and League Officials, as well as Physios and a Chef left Carlow .

on Tuesday morning to embark on a journey that they have been in intensive preparation for, over the past three years.

On Saturday 22nd October Crettyard UTD AFC Juvenile club "Showed Racism the red card!"

Our small club is located off the N78 in rural county Laois , situated close to the borders of both Kilkenny and Carlow.

Our engagement with the campaign was simple but effective . Both our Under 13 and Under 12 teams were playing their league games against Hanover Harps and Vale wanderers . Both Cretty yard team managers Ramon Buggy and Martin Rice gave full support by allowing pre match preparation to be interrupted by Aine Geoghegan (Club Secretary)

Following on from the trials conducted over the past two weekends the following squads have been selected to take part in this year's Gaynor Cup competitions.

We would like to thank all the girls who turned up and took part in these trials. Any girls who may have missed the trials for any reason can still be looked at and assessed by the coaches just by contacting us and letting us know and we will arrange for this to happen.
