St. Francis - Dromard


Well done to Bryan McCormack, Peter Mimnagh, Ronan Smith, Robert Cooke and Niall Mc Manus who were involved with Moyne Community school senior team's Leinster championship 3-17 to 5-5 win over St. Mary Drogheda in Dunganny on Wednesday last. They now advance to take on Tullamore in the next round. On Friday last we had Peadar Kiernan, Joseph Reynolds and Dylan McCormack lining out with Moyne CS against Scoil Dara Kilcock in the semi final of the Leinster U14 championship. While coming out second best on the day our representatives gave a very good account of themselves. Our minor AGM is deferred to Friday February 3rd at 8.30pm. We appeal to parents and anybody interested to attend. It is hard to believe that a year has past since Cian Smith left us. Cian's first anniversary Mass takes place Friday February 3rd in Colmcille at 7pm. Tweet
