Congratulations to our U11 Boys and Management Team on winning the Shield competition at the prestigious Mick Herron Tournament in Ardara Co. Donegal on Saturday last. After a couple of excellent group games the team were beaten by a single point by the highly rated St Sylvester's team from Dublin ,that subsequently won the Cup final, in a thrilling semi final but qualified for the Shield final where they overcame another Dublin outfit St Pat's. Our U12 Boys also put in some good performances in their Section. On Bank Holiday Monday our two U10 Boys squads also travelled to Ardara to compete in the Joe Larry Tournament and both squads did the club proud. The older group were beaten in the Plate final while the U9 side were defeated by a single score in their semi final.
Our U12 Boys Division I and III squads travel to Oxfield this Tuesday evening to take on Drumcliffe/Rosses Point at 7.00pm. Also on Tuesday morning the Boys and Girls of Grange NS play their Cumann na mBunscoil semi finals in Scarden.
Our U14 Boys were beaten 2-12 to 1-06 by Drumcliffe Rosses Point in the last round of fixtures in the A League on Thursday night last. The team will now play in the Shield semi final.
