Féile Peile na nÓg

Congratulations to our under-14s who reached the semi-finals of the national Féile competition last week-end. They got off to an ideal start on Friday last against their hosts Michael Davitts with a 5-5 to 1-1 victory. In round two later that evening they were defeated by Coralstown-Kinnegad in a low-scoring game by 0-4 to 0-1! On Saturday they got back to winning ways in round three with a 3-3- to 0-1 win against Castletown. In the quarter-final they met Castleblayney Faughs and overcame them on a scoreline of 3-4 to 1-3. Their opponents in the semi-final were the Longford champions Killoe who have had an excellent recent under-age pedigree in their county. They proved too strong for our players and they ran out winners by 2-8 to 1-2. It was a great adventure for these players. Well done also to the management and to all those who travelled to the south east to support the team. The memories should last a long time. Thanks to all those who supported the race night and to those who fundraised in any other way for this prestigious event.
