LGFA

Well done to Meabh who raised €470 for Lauralynn by doing 5000 push ups in the month of April.

Team A were the  winners of the Junior Ladies  Fitness challenge this  week  and well done to Sarah Smyth on winning the  training top.

Amy Tiernan  was the winner of the under 12/14/ 16 girls this week.   We are in week 6 of our fitness and skills  challenge now. The fitness Challenge has already been posted to the Junior Ladies whatsapp group.   Each girl must do the 4 sets of the challenge four times in the week.  For under 12, 14 and 16 girls the skills challenge begins Monday, all girls must  complete the weekly skill challenge to be  entered into a draw to win a training top so girls get working on it  and post.  We need to keep our skills and fitness up so to be ready to play when Football returns later in the year.
