We met Galtee in the West Semi final at
We were behind by three points after ten minutes but fought back to dominate the next forty leading by five points with eight minutes to go but it was not to be our day with the final score 0-15 to 1-14. Thanks to JJ Ryan Manager Pat Deegan and Pat Stapleton both selectors and thanks also to Toddy Sweeney our Trainer who has also given us two years of time and commitment and finally to Eamon Sweeney for his help. We thank Seamus Costello, our texter supreme, Matt Carr Physio, our supporters who followed us all year and finally to our players for their effort, heart and commitment to the club we all love. We have restored pride in our jersey and as we look forward to 2010 we can surely build on the progress made to date.
