Our under Green 14’s put up a huge battle out in Rathmore on Wednesday night last and despite putting some fantastic scores-(2/14) on the board lost out at the final whistle. Hard luck but most importantly very well played.
The White team were up against Legion on Wednesday last and equally served up some fantastic scores (4/07) to end up victorious after a very exciting finish- which had the supporters on the edge of their seats. Well done to you all! (Photo of White team sent ahead)
