GAA NOTES

INTERMEDIATE HURLING: Our Intermediate Hurlers travelled to Cork last Saturday to play Douglas in a challenge game and following a good game of hurling we were defeated by a mixture of their Intermediate and Seniors teams Despite having an understrength side, the lads worked hard throughout the game, and no doubt this experience will stand to them for future matches. We play Butlerstown on Thursday night away at 7:30pm in a challenge game.

JUNIOR FOOTBALL: Our Junior Foootballers played St Pauls last Saturday in round five of this year's championship and following a hard fought game, we came out on top on a scoreline of 3-6 to 1-8. Having led a half time by 1-5 to -4, thanks to a Eric Corcorcan goal, we came under pressure in the second half as St Pauls began to dominate, but two late goals from Kevin Roche got us out of jail, to give us a vital win. With four wins and a draw from five games, we have almost guaranteed qualification to the semi-finals. Our next game is against Fenor on Saturday 3rd July in Ferrybank at 7:30pm.
