This weeks award winners are;

Goal of the Week - Shane Carroll
This goal was scored by Shane in the U12's away match v's Cappamore Celtic B, Shane hit a fantastic shot which saw the ball go sailing over the goalkeepers head from around 30 yards away from goal, and it has to be said it had a touch of class about it, well done Shane, same again next week please!!

Pass of the Week - Marty Farrell
This was made by Marty who looked up and sent in an exceptionally well weighted pass into our forwards to run onto, this pass completely opened up the defence of the opposition and gave the team a fantastic attack on goal, well done Marty.

Man of the Match U10's - Danny Moloney
This was a close call as there were a number of very good individual performances, but this award has to go to Danny who was a constant threat to the opposition in the home game v's Holycross, well done Danny.

Man of the Match U12's - Marty Farrell
In a game where all the lads played well and worked tirelessly for the team during the U12's game, Marty's performance was immense, his very strong defensive play, passing and movement was a great display of how to play the game both in terms of breaking down the oppostions attacks and setting up our own, well done Marty.

Player of the Month - Philip McCarthy
The 'Player of the Month' award for September goes to our U14's goalkeeper, who has instantly stepped into the position taking command of the ball, and making some great saves. He has a true talent for this position, and if he keeps working and improving on his game the sky is the limit.Well done Philip.

Most improved Player of the Month - Caoimhe McCarthy
Our 'Most improved player of the month' is one of our U10's girls players, who has improved a huge amount since starting training, she works hard both in training and in the matches and she has the makings of a very good soccer player, well done Caoimhe, keep up the good work.
