The U12s had a hectic but successful weekend. On Saturday, the squad travelled to St. Joseph’s, Glenavy to take part in their annual blitz with clubs from Co. Antrim, Co.Fermanagh, Co. Down and Co. Monaghan. The Saul lads adapted to the nine aside formation quickly and with goals counted as wides, it did not take long for the three man attack of Caolan Magee, Timmy Hayes and Conor Hazard to find their range with some superb points. Niall Molloy, Riann Doran, Rory Fitzsimons and young Jack Hazard acted as impact subs and scored great points at crucial times in the matches. The mid-field trio of James Gordon, Mark McGrady and Gordon Rourke were tremendous and each player scored important points to secure victories. The back line of Martin Holland, Conal McGreevy and Cormac Coulter were inspirational in defence and set up many successful attacks.

After a narrow opening league defeat to Carryduff, the Saul lads had comfortable victories over Lisnaskea and hosts Glenavy which earned them a semi-final spot against Lisnaskea. The semi-final was an exciting match and Saul won the match with a couple of points to spare. The final was against a big powerful Aghagallon side and despite tight man to man marking and great defence their opponents took advantage of the wind in the first half and the Saul boys finished runners-up at the final whistle. Although the boys were disappointed, they represented their club admirably and enjoyed a great day producing some excellent football in front of other visiting Ulster Clubs.

On Sunday, it was back to league action at home to Carryduff where the lads rounded off with an impressive win against. Playing into the wind Saul held a 1-4 to 0-3 lead at half time with a Niall Molloy goal, two points from Cormac Coulter and points from Caolan Magee and Martin Holland. Saul used the wind to their advantage in the second half and held Carryduff scoreless. The lively Caolan Magee scored 2-3 and Connor Hazard popped over two great points and there were single points from Martan Holland, Gordon Rourke, Cormac Coulter and PJ. Dunlop.

The full back line of James Gordon, Conal McGreevy and Ryan Crawford were superb defensively and kept Carryduff scoreless for the entire second half. The final score was Saul 3-13 -v- Carryduff 0-3. Training continues on Thursday (6.15 - 7.30pm) with an away match against Dundrum next Sunday
