It's not too late to join. €20 for 8 weeks training in a fun and healthy environment. Come along!

Senior Hurling
On Saturday last our Senior hurlers took on De La Salle in the semi final of the County Championship in in Fraher Field. The game turned out to be tough physical battle with never more than the puck of the ball between the sides. When Tommy Sullivan's full time whistle it was the men from the Village who led by a single point and there were great scenes of celebration as we reached our first County Final in ten years.  Our opponents on Sunday week in Fraher Field will be Ballygunner and we appeal to all our supporters to get the club colours flying throughout the parish to show your support for the team.
