* This weekend was a busy one for some of our youngest juvenile member’s. On Saturday morning our under 10 footballer’s took part in a football blitz in St. Malachy’s Park against Drumaness, Bredagh, Carryduff and St Johns. The boys performed strongly in all their games and had some fine displays throughout the panel – well done lads from all your coaches. A big thank you to all the parents whom provided assistance on the day.
* The year six hurlers were at a blitz in Carryduff and performed particularly well. The smiles on their faces says it all! Isn’t is great!
* Our under 12 footballers played Loughinisland in an entertaining match on Sunday morning in St Malachy’s Park with our boys coming away with a narrow but deserved win. There were some outstanding performances throughout this young team. Well done lads!
