U15 Division 2 County Champions

Gerald Griffins Glin Athea U15 team won the Division 2 County Final on Saturday November 11th 2023 against Na Piarsaigh on a scoreline of 4-13 to 3-05. The match was played in Mick Neville Park and was well attended on what was a very memorable day. The dominant display by our players which kicked in after the first quarter meant that Na Piarsaigh were fighting an uphill battle for the majority of the game. There was a stellar performance by Dara Mullane who scored three goals and at least 9 points in the game. He was ably assisted by a balanced team well represented by Athea players. These boys will have learned a lot from the season and they were well tested whilst playing at this level. The success will stand to them going forward and will hopefully motivate them to keep working hard and doing their best. It is a rare occurrence for an Athea player to play Division 2 football let alone to be on the championship winning team but we had eight players who will have Div. 2 medals.

Well done to all the players and management especially Mike Flynn and the eight Athea players involved – Tomás Ahern, Jamie O Mahony, Eric Barrett, Tom Ahern, Jamie Quinn, Jamie Lee Flynn, Mark Ahern and Patrick Healy.
