SHILLELAGH
The Junior ‘A’ football team made the long journey to Kilcoole on Saturday last to lock horns with the home side in Division 3 of the football league. Hoping to continue their impressive start to the season during which they secured wins away to Newcastle and home to Enniskerry and Aughrim, alas no joy for the lads on this occasion as they found the Kilcoole challenge a bridge to far.
An opportunity to get the feet back in the stirrups presents itself on Saturday next, April 14, when St. Pats are the visitors to the Fairgreen.
Throw in is at 5pm. Do come along and support the team.
