We kicked off training with a full squad weekend session in Limerick in April.
This was the perfect way for the team to get to know one another, start working on our play and discuss our goals for the year. And the Rockband social was good craic.
The highlight of the weekend was a friendly against the UL Ninjas on a sunny Sunday afternoon.
It started out close, as the teams traded to 2-2. UL then had a run that made it 5-2. After a quick timeout, the juniors came back - going up 6-5, with Finnian throwing quite a few goals. UL managed to take half 8-6, after a few miscommunication turnovers, and defensive mistakes.
The second half saw a few more hucks and the scores were soon tied up at 9-9.
Both teams raised their games from here. Big defensive plays from Hugo and Lorcan got us the disc back a few times and 3 consecutive Pa to Tuffy scores kept the scoreboard ticking over for us, as we traded to 13-13. The result didn't go our way in the end, as UL got the final 2 points to take the game 15-13.
It was a great learning experience for the team, many thanks to the UL ninjas for providing the opposition.
Big thanks to Pa and Lorcan for hosting the rest of the team. And to Pa for sorting out the pitches and the saturday night entertainment. All in all, a great start to the season!
