Tonight Thursday they are away to Sean Mc Dermotts and on this Sunday June 30th they open their championship campaign with a home game against Scotstown in Ballybay at noon. Best of luck to the team and management and we appeal to supporters to come out and support the team.
Under 14s – The boys had a good win against Aghabog on Saturday last in a very competitive game. There were 5 points down in the third quarter but showed good character to fight back and record a good victory. They play Killevan on Saturday July 13th.
Under 12s- played Inniskeen on Tuesday night week last and emerged as one point winners after a very exciting game on a scoreline of 4-13 to 4-12. They were well ahead at one stage but let Inniskeen back into the game but held out for victory in the end. They played Truagh on Tuesday night gone past. We would appeal for all supporters to come out in numbers to cheer on the team.
