U14 GIRLS
Bonagee United 1 - 4 Letterkenny Rovers
Goalscorers: Savanna Keys x2, Aisling McGinley x2
Our U14 girls secured a second place finish in the group stages progressing to play the next part of the season in the top section of the league, guaranteeing a top 8 finish this year out of 24 teams.
This is a massive achievement for any team however even more credit to the girls as the squad was only established last year and the majority of girls never played football before. Savanna Keys and Aisling McGinley scored two each this evening against a understrength Bonagee side, with the girls battling right to the end.
