Our Grade 5 teams had to travel and overcome Carlow to qualify for the semi-finals. They took on a strong Mullingar team in the morning and qualified for the final. The Final against Dundalk was hard fought with lots of three setters. A brilliant result all around, with special thanks to Brenda for playing in the semi-finals and super sub Dearbhla replacing Brenda in the Final.
Now best of luck to the team in the All Irelands which will be played in Galway on the 18th of May
