The Feile Footballers had 2 teams competing in the championship and both teams played great football with the A team loosing out in the quarter finals while the B team went all the way to the final before loosing out to Moorefield. The U16 football league is now finished and they are now looking forward to the championship after the exams. The Minor footballers lost out on a league final place and are now preparing for their championship which starts after the exams.
The Feile Hurlers competed in the Feile A Hurling competition and came up short despite playing great hurling. The lads will now drop back to div2 for the league which is starting shortly. The u16 hurlers qualified for the league final which is due to take place on Sunday 13th May against Eire Og in Newbridge / Hawkfield - full details have yet to be finalised - please check fixtures. The Minor Hurlers also qualified for the league final where they took on Eire Og on Friday last in Ardclough - the match had not been played at time of going to print.
