Minor
Boys
The
clubs first competitive fixture took place in Dromard last Sunday with our U21s
facing St. Pats.
U-21
B Championship Result: St. Pats 0-5 Owenmore Gaels 3-19
Well done to the lads on this win in difficult conditions.
The foundations were laid in a hardworking first half performance that left us
4 up at the short whistle having faced a gale force wind.
Our opposition had to play with 12 in the second half due to injuries and we
took advantage of the wind to run out comfortable winners.
A good start for our lads, well done all
