Our score tally was helped by a Jamie Treanor first half hatrick of goals.  We dominated early in the second half scoring 2 goals from Cormac McKenna and Jamie Treanor to extend the lead before winning at the end 5-12 to 5-4. It was a great effort from all the team and the management should take great credit for how they all performed. Captain Cormac McKenna received the shield cup on behalf of the team. Our teams and scorers were: Ryan Boyle; Ronan Boyle, Kieran Kelly; Cian Maguire, Cormac McKenna (1-2); Gary Mohan (0-6, 4f), Chrisse Flood; Cillian Woods (0-1f), Caomhan Woods; Conor Maguire (0-1), Jamie Treanor (4-2, 1f).
