The club would like to thank the players and mentors for their effort throughout the year, particularly after picking things up mid-season after a disappointing North Championship.

Under 16: Lorrha lost 4-15 to 3-12 to Borrisokane in their final group game in the Under 16 ‘B’ Hurling. Despite failing to win a game, Lorrha performed well and could have won at least four of the games. There is plenty of potential for the future. Thanks to the players and mentors for their efforts.
