Our All Stars team participated in the Ulster Blitz today at Liatroim Fontenoys. The children had a fantastic time and were delighted with their medals. A special thank you to Liatroim for hosting the event.
.Our U12 Boys faced a strong Castlewellan team on Sunday. During the first half, Castlewellan dominated with four quick goals and several points, while Ardglass responded with two goals and five points. In the second half, Ardglass gained more control, with Finley and Madden working hard in midfield and a strong defensive effort from Odhran and Jack McB. Ethan and David in the forwards scored from range, along with scores from Finn, James, and Rossa. Tiernan was named man of the match for his work rate and scoring 1-2..
Congratulations to our U12 players, Jack Lennon and James McGreevy, for representing St Nicholas School Ardglass and St Mary’s School Dunsford at halftime in Páirc Esler today during the Down GAA versus Louth GAA match..

U12 boys
What a fantastic morning of football from our U12 boys as they took on Bredagh GAC
The team put on a brilliant display, showing great skill, determination, and most importantly, amazing teamwork.
It’s clear to see how much progress they’re making with each match, and that’s all down to the hard work they’re putting in, both on and off the pitch.
Thanks to coaches Sam and Aodhan!
Well done, lads! Keep up the great work!
