Unfortunately our leader cup run came to an abrupt end on Sunday last when we lost out to St Columbas in the semi final on a score of 1-11 to 9 points. We wish St Columbas all the best in the final.
This concludes our senior club activity on the playing fields for 2016 and yet again we have had a very successful year. While we missed out on the big prizes of championship and leader cup, we still managed to capture 6 titles including the intermediate B and under 21 championships. No doubt our lads will come back hungry in 2017 to regain their championship title.
