Gormanston College was a hive of activity on Saturday morning with the U14 boys playing an Tochar at 10am.

St Colmcilles then kicked off their U15 Leinster Cross County League in what has proven to be a very enjoyable way to launch the U13 and U15 seasons over the years.

Finton O’Brien officiated over both games on a lovely dry spring morning, with only the strong cross-field wind spoiling perfect conditions for football.

An Tochar from Roundwood in Co Wicklow were the opposition in the first game for a combined 2005/2006 team. An Tochar proved to be an excellent side coming out on top after a very entertaining and competitive game.

The older 2004 boys then played Cooley Kickhams from Co Louth in another engaging game where the home team proved to be more clinical in front of goal and with a strong flowing moves finished out winners.

Both teams are on the road for the next round and are looking forward to meeting new teams across Leinster
