LGFA

The Junior Ladies Fitness challenge ended in a draw this week, so both teams have to get a 5k run in by Tuesday evening. Well done to all who are participating each week, it is great to see the interest and enthusiasm!

Aoife Gallagher was the winner of the under 12/14/ 16 girls this week.   We are in week 7 of our fitness and skills challenge now. The fitness Challenge has already been posted to the Junior Ladies WhatsApp group.   Each lady 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.
