 Fossa Seniors:  A severely depleted Fossa senior team went under to Kilgarvan in the County Novice Shield semi-final at Fossa on Sunday last, when a Kilgarvan  goal clinically executed in the final minute of extra time gave victory to the Roughty men by 2-10 to 0-13. It was the second weekend in a row that extra time was required at Fossa. The home side opened rather shakily, and for 45 minutes there seemed to be no concerted plan of attack. They overdid the hand passing, and fumbled quite a lot. With 15 minutes to go the score stood at Kilgarvan 1-06 Fossa 0-04. For the final quarter Fossa woke up to their best bout of football of the hour adding 5 points without reply. This coincided with the introduction of Micheal O’Neill who gave an example of how to send good ball into the scoring zone. The extra time remained at stalemate, and it looked like a trip to Kilgarvan was in the offing when the visitors got that late strike.

 

Coiste na Óg: Our U10 team took part in a well-organised and very entertaining blitz in Rathmore last Sunday.  We played Spa, Glenflesk and Rathmore White and came 2nd in this group.  These were tough games where every pass had to be right and every score had to be taken.  Their football skills and team spirit came to the fore resulting in us winning 2 out of the 3 games this put us in the final against Gneeveguilla. This game was never going to be easy, but with passion in their hearts and the Fossa jersey on their backs, our boys put in a fantastic display and came out on top.  This was a fantastic result for our boys which with it brings confidence and belief and no doubt we'll see a lot more finals with this team in the future.  Well done to all players, mentors, selectors and supporters!  Thanks to Rathmore for the very welcome hot cup of tea and sandwiches and the team goodie bags.

    Fossa Under 10 girls took part in a excellently organised football blitz in Spa last Sunday. They played great football on the day and had 3 great games against Spa, Legion and Crokes and came out in top in all three games. The future for girls football in the parish looks very bright with a panel of 22 players taking part.

Panel: Shelly Clifford, Ava Burke, Anna Clifford, Orla Moynihan, Aoife Doody, Sarah O Neill, Ciara Griffin, Laura Whelton, Eve Weldon, Sara Sheehan, Jodie Sheehan, Sadie Myers, Soirse Bennett, Maud Kelly, Aoife Kissane, Laura O Sullivan, Meabh Bellow, Scarlett O Reilly, Danielle O Brien, Eimear Talbot, Fiona Dineen and Meabh Bennett.

 

The girls Under 12 and Under 16 teams played Cromane on Sunday also, and again there was a great turnout and 2 excellent games. With a full squad available our under 12 girls proved too be too strong but the under 16 games was a hugely entertaining game, here two evenly balance team played end to end stuff,  finishing in a draw, with a score line of Fossa 4 – 11 to Cromane 6 -05. Thanks to Cromane for calling over and we will see them back there in a few weeks time.

Again the future looks bright and Fossa will be entering teams in Under 12, 14 and 16 in all competitions in 2012.
