Good Evening everyone, we had another busy week of games and activity both home and away. We’ll start by congratulating our Ladies U16 on their County Final win in Aughrim on Saturday against Tinahely. The club and team mentors are extremely proud of you all. Full match report will follow in notes.

 

Senior Men travelled to Baltinglass on Friday evening for the Herbie Hill cup final. Unfortunately things didn’t go well for the lads and they were beaten by Baltinglass on a score line of 1-17 to 1-10.  It’s time now for the lads to put this behind them and concentrate on the first round of the championship which takes place on Sunday 26th in Aughrim against Dunlavin.

After a good talk with the lads at half time they came out all refreshed and put in a fast and clinical performance and managed to keep the visiting team from scoring.

There was a lot of great teamwork on show throughout the match and this resulted in some impressive worked scores.

There were a lot of contenders for POTM this week but it goes to Conor Murphy for his overall contribution to the game and for his determination to win each ball.
