Results:
U12 Group 1 and 4
Congratulations to Group 1, who had an impressive win over Nenagh in Ballina last Friday. Group 4 gained 2 points on Friday as Nenagh couldn't field a full team, and a challenge match was played instead.
U14 ‘s
The U14s were beaten by Toomevara in The Feile Hurling competition on Monday, 23rd March. They struggled to find their feet in the first half but were much improved and in striking form in the second half. Unfortunately it was too late to make up the score difference.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery to Cathal O’Donnell who dislocated his thumb in the Feile match.
