ST FINTAN’S LADIES
Twenty one of our under-14 players eventually took the long journey to Castletown to play the local team in the County Quarter Final.
This was the first time this season the club was able to field its strongest team, which showed in the exhibition of skills and workrate delivered by the girls. Playing against the breeze the girls held a 3-4 to 0-3 lead at the half time whistle.
The full panel got some playing time as the girls secured a victory which saw them qualify for a Co semi-final. Well played all.
ST FINTAN’S
Split-the-pot’ monthly draw. This is a fundraiser organised by our adult men’s team to help finance the costs associated with the running of our adult football and hurling teams.

Our Junior Footballers are still in the running for a knockout Championship game. Our Junior Hurlers have three group games remaining and will be hoping to secure a quarter final position also.
The costs associated with running the men’s teams are endless and it is hoped these draws will help towards that. The draw will run for July, August and September taking place on the last Friday of each month. Tickets are €10 each and limited to just 50 tickets per month with the winner each month bagging €250. Tickets available from any of our players or from club secretary Sharon Pettit. Please support and help the lads make every effort to reach those big games come September
