League win over Kenagh - Our first game of the new season took place on Saturday evening in Kenagh in Division 2. It was a great start to the new season as we had an emphatic victory over Kenagh with a score line of 3-14 to 5 points. Many players got on the score sheet and we had a wonderfully worked goal which started with our keeper Paddy Mullooly working it out from the back, intricate hand passing the whole way up the field with Shane Kenny finishing the move with his second goal of the game. Our next league game is down for Saturday May 2nd against Ardagh in Clonbonny. Keep an eye on fixtures for confirmation. The latest fixture information can be obtained from our club website www.rathcline.gaa.ie in the Club Fixtures and Results section.
