GAA CLUB NOTES
Unfortunately our senior team lost out to Annacurra and will not now progress to next week’s Keating Trophy final but a draw between Tinahely and Bray ensured that Newtown will maintain their senior status for next season.
Our juvenile presentation will be taking place in the community centre when all our teams have finished out their season we have no date yet as the under-13s are still playing, but it will be around mid-November.
The under-13 shield semi-final against Clara Gaels was cancelled prior to bank holiday due to the weather and is to be rescheduled it is unlikely to be this weekend but please check fixtures to confirm date and time.
Hard luck to Pearce Gaels, who lost to Rathnew in the final of the U 17 B championship last week; well done to all on a good year especially our own lads Joe McDonald, James Synnott, Lee Turner, Cian Walsh, Adam Heffernan and Conor Odlum.
