Match:

Thursday April 26:

Athea U12s played their first game away to St.Senans on Thursday evening April 26. We had fourteen players on the night, which was a good turnout. The first half score was St.Senans, 0-3 to Athea’s 0-2; both teams were very evenly matched. In the second half, St.Senans scored two goals to Athea’s one point; the score line did not reflect the game. Athea had great possession, but could not get the scores. Well done to both teams on the night.
