SUPER SUPPORT

What a historic day in our Club Saturday, with two County titles. First our Minors achieved the double in hurling Div 1 & football Div 2, achieved for the second time in the Club, last in 1985 when was the A Football & the B Hurling. Then the lads and their management team headed to the SETU Arena to support our senior girls creating history by winning the Senior Camogie Championship, with a super performance, for the first time since the establishment of Camogie in 2008. Hard Luck to our U14 Hurlers who went down to Mount Sion in the County Final on Sunday. As the song goes, two out of three, ain’t bad! Well Done everyone to phenomenal support to the three teams over the weekend!
