Senior Men 

Seniors Men’s Result Tralee/Brendan’s Board

Mitchels 0-8    Stacks 0-9

Wind assisted in the first half we played some nice ball into our corner forwards Mikey and James which reaped some reward. We went in three up at half time but it should have been more.

Our backs once again put in a major shift especially in the second half with the Stacks attacking approach.

We created plenty of chances to win the game but a good save by the Stacks keeper denying Paudie White and a couple of other missed opportunities resulted in the narrowest wins by Stacks. We play Na Gaeil at home on Friday night at 8pm under lights. All support welcome.

Minors 

On Saturday evening at 3pm our boys played the first round of the county league, where they faced Moyvane at home.

We had a good few injuries from the start and our panel was tight. The boys gave it everything but a stronger Moyvane  team had too much for them.

The boys gave it everything and unfortunately our keeper Ben had to be stretchered off which put a bad cap on the day.  A speedy recover to Ben from all at the club.

Next week sees round 2 in the county league where the boys travel away to St Michaels/Foilmore time to be confirmed.  Best of luck to all the team.
