A year which looked likely to end without any silverware for the club was rescued at the eleventh hour by Ray Lang and Don McCloat’s U-12 side when they overcame the challenge of Calry/St. Joseph’s to capture the “B” C’ship in Bunninaden on Saturday last. An exciting clash, played over four quarters, was always much closer than the 4-10 to 1-6 final scoreline might suggest and it was our girls ability to turn possession into scores which proved to be the decisive factor in contrast to their opponents whose scoring boots seemed to go missing at crucial moments. Also the old adage that goals win games was never more true as any team that finds the net four times in a final seldom loses and the win will go some way towards erasing the memory of last years defeat at the same stage of the competition.  Team : C.  McCloat, A.Colleary, C.Connolly, K.Hallinan, E.McGowan, L.Devaney, N.Muldowney,C.Dunne, Siobhain Lang, S.McNamara, R.O’Brien, R.McHugh, A. Hallinan, K.Golden, Shona Lang, S. Devaney, C.Ginty, C.Hynes, A.McAndrew, C.McGee, C.Evans, E.Dunne.

Well done to all concerned and thanks to all who made the journey to support the side. Thanks especially to Don and Ray and their assistants for their continued work with this age group – this victory is no more than their efforts deserve. Thanks as always to Vanessa and staff in the Coffee Shop for their usual hospitality after the game.

The game brings the curtain down on what has been one of the more difficult years for our club as we struggled with numbers in many grades. Thanks to all who have once again given so freely of their time in helping to keep the club and its teams afloat for another year.  

Sympathy is extended to the family of Margaret McGee, Duneill who passed away. Ar dheis Dé go raibh Sí
