Under 15/17;
Final round of U17 next week.
Under 11/13;
Both teams did very well in their respective finals in Breffni Park recently. The Under 11s can count themselves very unlucky in what was a keenly fought and tight contest. A full 15 a side game for them which was impressive in itself.
The Under 13s had it a bit harder on the night but again can be pleased with both their workrate and never say die spirit in what was again another good contest. Bright futures for both these sides in the years ahead.
The Under 11 squad at the recent final with Pat, Una and Mary management.
The Under 13 squad at the recent final.
Under 7/9;
