The u16 Gaelic Football team were away to Sacred Heart Tullamore today for their first match of the year. A very wet and miserable day did not stop the HFSS girls from displaying their skills and teamwork. Unfortunately the result did not go our way losing out to a good Tullamore team with a score of 2-3 to 2-11. The girls did their school and clubs proud.
