Our lads hosted and defeated a good Clontarf team that won the Billy Breen Shield.
We also overcame Na Piarsaigh (Cork) and Naas (semi-final). We witnessed an exciting final v Galway’s Bóthar na Trá/Cnoc na Cathrach on Sunday. Our boys played outstandingly but it wasn’t our day. Comhghairdeachas le muintir na Gaillimhe…they were 0-4 a better team!
