Our under 12 footballers played Clara on Wednesday evening last in O'Brien Park. Both clubs fielded two teams in two very exciting games. Both sides played good football however it was the visitors who ran out winners on the night. Both Tullamore teams put in a good effort and good spells of football. Thank you to our supporters on the night who turned out in good numbers.
Under 14 Football
Tulllamore's under 14 footballers played DER Gaels in O'Brien Park on Thursday evening last in their third championship game.

They have one game remaining against Ferbane Belmont and will be looking to secure a place in the knock out stages of the championship.
