UNDER 16 FOOTBALL:
It was a busy few days for the Footballers with two games in a couple of days. Late Wednesday night the lads welcomed Dungravan, and in a close hard fought game, with the light fading fast, the sides finished all square on 1-04 each.
On Sunday Morning, the lads travelled to play leaders Rathgormack, and despite a great effort from the team, Rathgormack ran out winners on a scoreline of 2-08 to 2-03. Next up is a home game next Sunday April 9th at 11am against Naomh Brid.
