Everyone in the community is invited to attend.

 

SENIOR:
  Our seniors had a hard fought victory last Sunday in their first home game of 2009. Elphin played the best in the first half and after a well worked move, John Collins finished to the back of the net to give Elphin a 4 point cushion going in at half time, Elphin came out the quicker and despite enjoying the lion’s share of possession found it hard putting points on the board. Aidans dug in and left only a 1 point margin going into the last minute Elphin managed to break up field and scored last to take maximum point.
