Under 16 Jackie Noonan Tournament:
The current Under 16 team led by Cathal Mac Ghee & Peter Mc Dermott attended the annual tournament in Killygordan hosted by Red Hugh's on Sunday. The team was depleted due to injuries in all the vital areas of the field and failed to record any victories on the day in there two matches against Mac Cumhaill's and Convoy. The boys although didn't record any victories fought to the bitter end to gain a win in the tournament, a good team performance all round.
The tournament was marred by the sudden injury to Jamie Devine in the second match of the day which was abandoned due to Jamie's injury! Naomh Padraig would like to thank Red Hugh's for their medical assistance for Jamie on the day which was hugely vital at the time. Naomh Pádraig would also like to thank referees, medical teams and Red Hugh's for their hospitality on the day of the tournament.
