U20A HURLING CHAMPIONSHIP FINAL

Congratulations to our U20s on a result of Abbeyside 0-13, De La Salle 1-14 (17) to be crowned the JJ Kavanagh U20A County Champions. Half time saw us three points down 0-9 to 0-6 and chasing the game. However, that all changed at the start of the second half when a long ball though, won by Alex Keane in the middle of the field found Reuben who blasted to the net. In a closely contested second half, we imposed a winning determination which saw us crowned Champions by four points. Well Done Lads & Congrats to Reuben on a well-deserved Player of Match, taking all our scores. There are some great shots by John O’ Neill on our social media.

COMMUNITY COMMITTEE STEPS CHALLENGE

This is a fantastic opportunity to use our new walking track and floodlights in Gracedieu and the entire community to come together to walk and enjoy a cuppa afterwards. We will commence the challenge with throw in on Wednesday 11th January at 7pm and it will run for five weeks finishing on the 15th of February.
