hope they do better than they did against the u16 boys last sunday!!!
Whats this comment about?
Did the u16 boys play the ladies side?
I gather they had one full practice match and one half match against the Ire U16 boys, winning 2-1 and drawing 1-1
The ladies won the shorter game in the morning 2-1. The boys won the full match in the afternoon, also 2-1.
The U16s beat them 2-1 in the full match in the afternoon!
IN another post the following is mentioned: "Meanwhile, the IHA's core Irish Sports Council grant has been reduced from €270,908 in 2009 down to €260,071 for 2010 while the Women In Sport grant from the same organisation is down from €90,905 to €80,000"
Could someone please clarify the situation regarding the money given from Sport NI to the IHA. I think you will find it makes very interesting reading in comparison the figures above. Perhaps we should centralise up North
seeing as you seem to know something about this, point us unenlightened in the right direction please!
