This Saturday sees St Pat’s of Blennerville and Ardfert take to the field to contest the St Brendan’s Football Board Championship final take place at 2pm in Ardfert so there should be a good crowd from both clubs cheering on their sides.

The Warriors will want to keep up their great league form after their setback last weekend when they lost to Swords Thunder in the second leg of their National Cup tie by 76 to 64. Expect another huge crowd to pack out the venue so get their early!
