We completed the group stages of the championship with a 2-9 to 1-7 victory over Allen Gaels in Pairc Sean on Sunday to set up a quarter final meeting next weekend with Sean O Heslins. A first half goal by Gary Mc Closkey left us six points clear at half time and a further goal from David O Connor ensured victory in the second half.

Best Wishes
Our best wishes to Aiden Reilly who suffered a bad injury at the weekend. It seems Aiden will be out of action for a considerable period, but we hope he makes a full recovery and we look forward to seeing him back in the Black and Amber before too long.
