GAA NEWS

On Tuesday evening, September 25, the under-nine squad finished up their year’s training with a fun night. They took part in some great fun activities, losing to the parents in the tug-of-war but beating them in the hurling match, winning the game with a last minute goal. The 25 players were presented with wrist-bands and all thanked the coaches, Micheál Stafford, Micheál Somers, Ann and Noel Butler, Diarmuid O’Hanlon and Bobby Larkin for their dedication and hardwork.

Coiste na nÓg would like to thank Pettitt’s SuperValu, Enniscorthy for their gendrous donation of 50 footballs to the club. Well done to the under-17 footballers who booked their place in the county final, beating Oylegate by 8-5 to 2-6.
