Under 8/10. Well done to all parents who brought their children along to our opening coaching session for this age category and stayed to offer encouragement and support. We hope to see all forty participants back again on Saturday morning next from 10.00-11.00am. A word of appreciation to everyone for their cooperation in embracing the gum shield rule and to the children themselves for their determination in using them despite some obvious discomfort. A wee reminder about bringing your own personal juice/water bottle and of course don’t leave that mouth protection at home either!

Aidan Ward and Jamie Keenan landed a couple of lovely long range points, others to get their names on the scoresheet were Niall Kearns,Mathew Mc Guirk,Colin Mc Elvaney Adam O’ Driscoll substitute Dylan Mc Nally slotted over a nice point too.
