GAA RESULTS
It was two wins from two games last weekend. First up on Saturday afternoon, a depleted intermediate squad travelled to Clongeen for their All County Hurling Div 4B game. With some great hurling and lots of endeavour, the lads came out on top with a 1-11 to 1-15 win. It has since been rumoured that the comeback trail for some of these lads may have come to end, you never know though. Then on Sunday in Carne, our minor footballers set out to keep the points at home as Oylegate-Glenbrien visited for this Div 1B clash. After a tough contest these young men held on in the end to win on a score line of 4-08 to 3-09.
