At adult level our seniors played Fenians in an Alyward cup tie losing narrowly 0-14 to 1-08. The juniors were in championship action against neighbours St Martin’s. This proved a tight encounter with the visitors securing a share of the spoils, taking advantage of a strong breeze in the closing period. Comer fielded a young side and were repaid with a number of encouraging performances throughout the field.

 

Our u-9, 10 and 12 panels are heading to Dublin on Sunday for our annual Leinster final trip and as customary they will stop off to play Whitehall Colmcilles on the way .
