U-21’s
The U-21’s bowed out of the championship over the weekend despite a battling performance against a strong Redbridge side under lights in O’Raghallaigh Park. Despite the cold, wet and blustery conditions both sides put in a super show but the visitors found the net when needed and a late Daryll Martin was too little, too late, as Redbridge ran out 2-13 to 1-11 winners come the final whistle.

SENIORS
The Seniors progressed to the Division Two league final with another comprehensive victory as they overcame Ballyhaise in Lacken by 1-16 to 0-6. An early opportunistic goal from Daryll Martin allowed the Stars some breathing space and they never looked back. For a full report & pictures, please click here.
We will now face Drumgoon in the final but this has not yet been fixed and may depend on Drumgoon’s continued progression in the U-21 championship.
