The teams played 2 matches in what can only be described as an excellent exhibition of both footballing skills and gamesmanship.

 

The management team of Stephen Glennon, Brendan Glennon, Michael Fleming and Peter Glennon were very proud of the boys and would also like to thank the parents for their support.

 

We also commend Offaly GAA and in particular Keith McGuinness and Liam O'Reilly for hosting a well organised event.
