The Minors got their season off to a great start in Woodside tonight with a win over Tullow in a very fast, entertaining game. Although leading at half-time by 0-9 to 0-5, the lads had to dig deep in the last quater after a burst of scoring from Tullow left us two points behind. They rallied well and a great goal by Jake Hickey got things back on track and we closed out the game for a hard earned but deserved win.
