CAMOGIE
Well done to all our club girls who lined out with Presentation Wexford Senior camogie team for a great win on Thursday v Bunclody.
COISTE NA NÓG
The Minor Hurling Shield final played last Saturday in Ferns marked the end of an era in GAA in our club and in a national context. With the exception of one, all clubmen on the panel, lined out in their last ever minor game on as 2018 will see the introduction of the new minor age restructuring from under-18 to under-17. Unfortunately they lost out to a strong Oylegate-Glenbrien team but we wish our chaps all the best going forward into new territory as adult players in 2018 and look forward to the great contribution they will continue to give to our club. Thanks also to PJ, Noel, Toirleach, Larry and all who have given great time to these boys over the last number of years.
