They were beaten in the final by Clarinbridge NS on a scoreline of 2-7 to 1-5 but they can all be incredibly proud of themselves for the performances they gave throughout the day. Very well done lads!

Mini 7s Football (Girls) - 18/04/2016: Our girls performed very well in the Corofin section of the mini 7s competition in Belclare today. They won their opening two group games but a loss after extra time in their third game meant that they finished 2nd in their group and narrowly missed out on a place in the final. Nevertheless, we are very proud of them and they will have gained a lot from the experience. Well done girls!
