MINOR/U16 AWARDS
Next Friday evening Dec 8th at 8:30pm the u16s and Minor Teams will receive their medals from this year's successes. U16s earned championship honours after they defeated James Stephens when a last puc of the sliotar found the net in the County Final replay after the sides couldn't be separated from the week earlier. The side also won the hurling league beating Dunnamaggin earlier in the summer. The minors also beat James Stephens in this year's Minor County Final but have yet to play the league final..the minor Bs are still in the reckoning for a Roinn C league title but no scheduling for the completion of this competition has been finalised. The club invites all members to attend and celebrate two very fine teams and mentors.
