ST FINTAN’S TO THE FORE
Some 40 years ago a Wexford district team became the first aqnd only district team to be crowned senior football champions. The final was played in Belfield versus Bunclody and the panel of players included 10 from the St Fintan’s club. If anyone out there can supply any type of photograph from that time the club would very much appreciate it.

ALL BLACKS AFC
The under-14s played a very competitive 2: two draw away to Wexford Albion in less than ideal conditions.It was a game of two halves with the wind a major factor. The first goal was created from great work by Matthew Lewis on the wing who picked out Phil Tierney, who took the ball in his stride and lobbed the home keeper for a superb finish. The second was a excellent strike from Tadgh Deegan from outside the box.
Most of the second half chances fell to Albion from which they found the net on two occasions to level the game. Just on full time James Wright in goal made a fantastic save from a Albion free kick to earn the Blacks a deserved draw.
GET WELL SOON
Get well soon wishes are sent by the family and friends of 19YR old Mayglass man and St Anne’s talented gaelic player Roy Nunn. Roy was knocked down when struck by a car in Dublin and was rushed to the Mater hospital in a critical condition where he gained consciousness after treatment. We wish Roy a speedy recovery.

SPECIAL AWARDS
Three members of the same family were pleasantly surprised when they attended the AGM of Wexford scout county.
Nick, Breda and Laura Hayes received their awards for their contribution to scouting in the county. Laura received a silver meritorious award, her woodbeads and 15-year service award while Nick and Breda received a Gold meritorious award each and if any family was to be rewarded for their hard work and dedication to scouting it surely must be the Hayes family. Congratulations to all three.
