LARAGHGLENDALOUGH
LARAGH GAA
Well done to the Laragh GAA team who won their championship match on Sunday, August 9, against Ballinacor in Arklow scoring 1-11 to 1-6.
Recently the under-sevens team played their first game off the season, it was great to see how well they played. This team has improved a lot over the last while which is down to them all willing to learn and listen to their coaches. It can be seen by everyone the improvements they’ve made. With the number of juveniles in the club, things are looking very bright for the future. A special word must go out to all the coaches. Keep up the good work it’s all very much appreciated.
