Coaches: Oisin O’ Reilly and Mick Hedigan.
Our ladies intermediate footballers made a winning start to their Division 2 league campaign last Sunday morning with an impressive 2-10 to 1-4 win over Calry/St Joseph’s at Oxfield. We’re away to Shamrock Gaels next Sunday morning.
The opening day of the Furey’s Coaches SFL Division 1 was less enjoyable for our senior men’s footballers as they were well beaten by Tubbercurry in Kilcoyne Park. We host Tourlestrane at Oxfield in our next league game on Good Friday. Throw-in at Oxfield is 6:30pm. Two days later, we travel to Hazelwood to play Calry/St Joseph’s at 2pm.
