Under 10 Training continues on Saturdays  at 11:00am.

The senior team defeated league leaders Bunninaden on Sunday last in Tourlestrane. A weakened team forced to line out with the midfield duo of Eamonn O’Hara and Stephen King worked hard throughout the first half to lead by 8 points at half time. Good defensive work kept the Bunninaden  forwards at bay and some good scores by Shane Dunne, Gerry McGowan and the Walsh’s Eamonn and Matt led the team to a well deserved win. A speedy recovery is wished to minor Stephen Leonard who sustained a hand injury in this game. Round 6 will be played in Castleconnor on Sunday May 19, 2002.
