The junior footballers who were defeated by four points in their first round championship clash with St. Mary's warmed up for this Saturday's vital championship encounter with a narrow two point league win over Tadhg Mac Cárthaigh, in the Rossa Park last Tuesday evening.
Skibb held a three point advantage at half time after a good first half performance. Skibb held off a spirited second half revival from Caheragh to emerge victorious on a 0-11 to 0-9 points scoreline after a hard fought competitive game.
