PEIL FAOI 12: A great day was had on Saturday last as 30 Rock players and a great group of parents and mentors made the trip to the ‘real capital’….cois Laoi. We enjoyed two very competitive matches against Baile an Easpaig (together with some excellent hospitality) before making the short hop to the St Finbarr Club for more of the same! A call to McDonald’s, on the way home, completed what was a memorable day that has been of great benefit to us all and has shown us the areas on which we must build over the coming weeks! ‘Well done’ to players, mentors and parents. Lá dár saol a bhí ann, gan aon agó! Upwards and onwards, a leaideanna na Carraige!
