Spikeball
Well done to all who took part in the Spikeball Blitz today January in Moyle Rovers. We did really well in all competitions and narrowly missed out reaching the regional finals with the mixed team losing their decider. All three teams showed great technical skill, movement and togetherness considering we’ve only had a few sessions before this blitz. Well done to all involved. A special word of thanks must go to Ms Whelan and Cornelius McFadden for preparing the teams so well in advance of this competition.
