JSNS girls played their final GAA fixture against Scoil Mhuire at Clanna Gael on Tuesday afternoon.
It started off a very one sided game in favour of the opposition. At half time they were winning 2:2 to our 0:0.
The second half provided the opportunity for our girls to show just what they are capable of with a tied score of 2:2 – 2:2. However, the opposition managed to score a goal at the end resulting in a final score of Scoil Muire – 3:2 JSNS – 2:2.
Well done to the JSNS team! Congratulations on a well deserved win for Scoil Mhuire and many thanks for the opportunity to play.
