Rockland Girls cause a storm in the North West!











Rockland's U10 girls completed their undefeated tour of Ireland in Ballyshannon , Donegal against the Aodh Ruadh girls last saturday. Having previously
defeated Dromore of county Tyrone and Bundoran of Donegal the girls gave a great preformance in the driving rain. The Ballyshannon girls were exceptionally well drilled under the tutelage of Aodh Ruadh's answer to Sonny and Cher Bernie and Slyvester Maguire . The Aodh Ruadh club have a vcry strong connection to New York football with Rockland U10 girls manager , a former Ballyshannon resident , Pat Mc Govern now the chairman of the Gaelic For Girls programme. Niall Mc Cready last years Aodh Ruadh captain is a former player with Donegal New York and the New York Senior Football team. Brian Mc Caffery now plays his football with Donegal New York while Katie Flood is playing for the summer with Na Fianna. Newly appoint NY GDO Simon Gillespie is also a member of the club so it was great for all involved to be part of the occasion. Many thanks to the club for the hospitality provided afterwards. The Aodh Ruadh clubs official Photographer Brian Drummond was on hand to capture several of the days pictures and his photos can be viewed at http://www.aodhruadh.org/
