Moate ladies host New York team

Hogan Park was looking its very best as the Moate Ladies U14 team played host to the New York Ladies U14 team as both groups prepared for the Féile in Co Kildare. The new astroturf goal areas blended in with a pitch that is in pristine condition, lush green grass with not a weed in sight, a credit to the club and to their grounds committee in particular. The new multi-purpose rooms, formerly the old dressing rooms, was where the visitors were feted and with professional catering (ably assisted by Chef Rattigan) the visitors and all present were suitably impressed. The Moate Ladies club are to be complimented for the welcoming signage which was much appreciated by the visitors, judging by the number of their party who went over to have their picture taken with the signs. On the pitch New York came away with a hard fought three-point victory, a great way for them to launch their trip to Ireland and a great warm up for both teams as they headed off to the Féile.
