Clonduff originally had two teams entered but one of the scheduled teams didn’t arrive Clonduff were in the happy position of being able to field a third team. Clonduff B team had a great tournament and topped their group and went on to beat Shamrocks B in the quarter final and Rostrevor B in the semi final to set up meeting with Burren B in the Final. this was undoubtedly the best game of the day with the Yellows just edging out Burren.

Clonduff Under 10 season came to an end on Sunday 24th October in Burren with the children showing outstanding team performances with both the A and B teams making it to their respective finals for the Cup and Plate. Over the season Clonduff had 41 young players who all got plenty of football. Goodwill of clubs allowed us to enter two and three teams at times and with twice weekly training, challenge matches and Go Games football and fun was plentiful.
PJ, Paul, Shereen Patricia and Noleen would like to thank all the children for their dedication throughout the season. They would also like to thank all the parents for their support and help allowing for the children to be transported to the games and home safely. The support of the parents encouraged the children and enabled a community spirit at the games.
