Update 10/12/17

Our under 12 boys played out their final piece of action on the field when they travelled to Castlerea to take on St. Kevin's on Saturday. It was a close game from the start but a strong final 10 minutes from the home team saw Castlerea take the spoils and advance to the next stage of the O'Beirne shield. Well done to all our panel for great commitment throughout the year which yielded the division 4 Summer league shield. Thanks to all the parents and to team management and anyone who helped out along the way.
