Tournafulla/Killeedy- West U21A Champions for 2017

Last Sunday was proof if one needed it, that the amalgamation of Tournafulla and Killeedy is one of success.. Tournafulla/Killeedy played Newcastle West in the U21 West final. Heavy rain made conditions tough for the first half but a lead of nine points going into the half time whistle, proved too much for Newcastle West to claw back. Although Newcastle West played well in the second half, Tournafulla/Killeedy showcased how the amalgamation of teamwork and skill wins on the day… Final score: Tournafulla/Killeedy 3-16, Newcastle West 1-07

Both these teams met in the Munster Final. On a cold 12th February, Whitechurch secured a win with the margin of just 3 points.. Both teams brought great support that day so expect the Final on 26th March to be a packed hose…
