Senior
County Final This Sunday
On Sunday, we contest the County Final for a second
year in a row. We take on Longford Slashers at 4:15 and will be hoping to
avenge last year’s defeat to Dromard. The team has prepared well and the only injury
worries are Tommy Doyle (who picked up a knee injury against Killoe in the Semi
Final) and Brendan McCabe (hamstring). You can check out our official Club website
for information regarding the final and post best wishes on our guestbook.
There will be merchandise on sale this week where you can purchase jerseys,
flags etc in all the local shops. Hopefully a big crown will turn out and get
behind the team on the day.
We would like to wish the Seniors the very best of
luck on Sunday and hopefully they can bring the cup back to the cross.
We would like to take the opportunity to
congratulate Paddy and Eilish Walsh on the recent birth of their first baby- Aodhan Patrick. Paddy is the sponsor of our
Junior team jerseys and was part of the Junior panel that was defeated in the junior
championship semi final recently.
