Training Thursday May 29th /Ballymena .

Just a reminder that Training is back at Templepatrick Primary school on Thursday night . 6.30pm - 8.00pm . We will finalise details for Kilrea trip .

Just a word on Saturday at Ballymena -- it just shows you what you can do if you believe in yourselves -- The improvement from Thursday night was great -- passing /movement and commitment was 100% better .One of the Ballymena coaches could not believe we were the same team who they had beaten so easily on Thursday night and yet we beat them on Saturday .

Well done!!

PS:Just a reminder : Can all players involved inBallymena bring kits back on Thursday night.

Thanks

Training last night with Pascal /Janine

Firstly ,the positives:

Many thanks to the boys that made the effort to come to the session last night with Pascal/Janine -- your efforts on the night were first class. Indeed your performance in the game at the end of the session against the Under 13s was probably the best I have seen from a Templepatrick Squad in the last 3 years . I think we should bring Pascal to every game to watch!! Well done -- David, Robert , James , Thomas and Christopher.

Secondly the Negatives: -- We had only 5 players in the squad of 17 turn up for a session with the IFA County coach -- an opportunity to show your talents off at your own club rather than at a trial with 50 other kids . To say I was disappointed with the turnout would be an understatement , I know some of the squad were away on school trips but surely we could of had more players turn up or at least let us know they were not turning up . Pascal travelled all the way from Derry with his goalkeeping coach to be at the session and I am sure he was not impressed with the turnout.

TRAINING 15th MAY 08:

Can all players bring your all your kit to training next week (Red kit , Training Kit , Track suit and rain top) .

Training next week is at Templepatrick Primary School next Thursday 6.30-8.00. Ballymena Tournament starts on Saturday 17th-- more info later .
