SENIORS
As build up for Senior Championship continues, our next match is Sat 11th July at home to Knockbride in Division 2. A tough game is guaranteed and it will be a great test in our last match before our championship opener at the end of the July.
U-21’s
The U-21’s open their championship campaign with a trip to Mullahoran on Wed 2nd July at 8pm. It’s not exactly the easiest opening tie you could have wished for but hopefully, under the guidance of senior players Alan Clarke and Philly Smith, they may be able to spring a surprise.
MINORS/U-16’s
With the exit of the Cavan Minors at the weekend, the leagues should re-commence shortly. With the Minors top of the league, and due to face Cavan Gaels, they will need to regain their pre-break form straightaway. The U-16’s should face Laragh Utd in a play-off to see who makes it to the semi-finals.
