GAA
Hard Luck to our U20s who battled bravely all the way with a depleted squad, due to Covid 19, in the Whites Bar Eastern U20 Football Championship Final. We went down to a strong Tramore, 3-8 to 0-5, but the game wasn't without it's goal scoring opportunities for us with two fine saves from the Tramore keeper and a controversial Tramore goal, that was the turning of the game. Congrats Tramore! Check out the fantastic photos by John O' Neill on our social media.
