Club news
Our reserves were defeated at the weekend by Downings. A minutes silence was observed before this game in memory of former reserve player and club member James Hegarty who sadly passed away last week. James became a popular Club Member and Player and was always available to assist the Club in any way he could. He will be greatly missed and our sympathies go to his wife and family. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.
