SOCCER NEWS
On Saturday last, the 14th. the Youths’ team were at home to Ballymurn Celtic and thanks to a Dylan Brady rocket, took the lead mid-way through the first half. Ballymurn were not fazed by the 1-0 deficit at the break and were level shortly after the resumption. They kept up the pressure and despite some sterling defensive play by our lads, the visitors added two more goals to win by 3-1.
St Cormac’s would like to wish all their supporters near and far, all players, club members and supporters a peaceful Christmas and all good luck for the New Year.
