Division 1 League: For the third year in a row we started our division one league campaign with a draw, 1-12 each with the Oliver Plunketts on Sunday. But truth be told we got out of jail with this result as we did not perform in this game and had we lost we would have had no complaints. But a point is better than no points at all and we remain unbeaten this season so far. It's the Sean O Mahonys up next on Friday night in the Grove at 7.00pm, where a return to form and two league points would do very nicely please.
