Congratulations to minor lads on reaching the Division 2 League Shield Final, the final was due to take place at New Inns on Tuesday evening (July 1st) against Butlersbridge, hopefully the result will go their way.
Hard luck to the ladies who narrowly lost out to Cavan Gaels in the Spring League Semi final on Sunday last.
The senior men were also very unlucky in the last league game against Cuchulainn's with just a single point separating them at the final whistle. The result unfortunately leaves them in the bottom 4, they will next play Laragh in a relegation play-off on Friday July 11th.
