CARRIGALINE GIRLS SELECTED FOR CORK

Carrigaline girls were to the fore at the recent Peil na Cailini Cork trials.
Held at the Brinny grounds near Innishannon recently, the girls made a very favourable impression on the selectors, with five out of the six players from the club being selected for the Cork team.
The trials involved more than 60 girls from national schools across the country. The girls were divided info teams and then played against each other in matches.
The selectors wree looking out for skills such as possession, teamwork and passing skills. They eventually managed to whittle the group down to two teams who will represent Cork in the Munster Ladies Football Championship later this month.
The Carrigaline girls chosen for the team were: Maria, Moran, Grainne O'Keeffe, Donna Smyth, Sarah Cotter and Niamh Furlong who will no doubt make an even more vaulable impression in the Cork panel in the future.
