A replay after a very exciting senior football final. Another week of tension for the parish and a week of hard work for the panel. See the sports pages to see how the replay went last Saturday.
The under-17 boys’ footballers won another trophy for the club when they overcame St Martin’s in the premier shield final. The under-15 footballers have their shield final on the 24th at 7.15 in St Patrick Park. That leaves the ladies’ football league and the Men’s under-20 football and hurling still to be completed.
Weather permitting, this week should see the completion of the floodlights around Kilanerin pitch. Thank you to all involved. The new center at the Rock is looking great too. A great asset for the future.
