CAMOGIE NEWS
Our Juniors continue their winning ways with a hard fought battle against Charleville, in the second round of the Junior A championship. Banteer looked the stronger throughout the first half and despite a late rally from Charleville in the third quarter our girls had enough left in the tank to see them out to the final whistle. The game finished Banteer 2.09 Charleville 2.06.
They will make the journey to Castle Road Camogie Grounds in Mahon on Sunday the 19th where they now face Tracton @5pm. This anticipates to be a very close encounter and not one to be missed! We wish the panel the very best of luck, all support is great appreciated
