Scór: As a club, we were very proud to have three acts in the Ulster Scór na nÓg finals in Silverbridge last Saturday. This was a great achievement for our music group (Ciara Ní Riordáin, Dearbhla Ní Mhearáin, Oisín Ó Raghallaigh, Fionán Ó Gallchóir and Mark Ó Cleirchín); singing group (Aoibhinn Ní Chraoibhinn, Hannah Nic Uaid, Amy Nic Domhnaill, Caoimhe Ní Néill and Dearbhla Ní Mhearáin) and our solo singer Dearbhla Ní Mhearáin. Competition was tough across the board and we were delighted to see Dearbhla go through to the All-Ireland stages as Ulster champion. Thanks to all the parents and Harps supporters who were there to support us on the day. Go raibh mile maith agaibh to Niamh Coyle and Aoife McCabe for all their help. Well done to the county and Ulster committees, especially Mickey Corrigan and Mairéad Boyle. We wish Dearbhla the best of luck in the All-Ireland in Killarney at the start of next month.

Reserves: We lost out at home to Latton in the RFL Division 1A last Saturday. Latton led the way, but points by Lochlainn Power, Luke McManus and Evan Doherty kept us in touch, while Evan also hit the net just before half-time to half our deficit at 2-6 to 1-6. Kevin Moran and Conor Duffy added points after the restart to keep it tight, but even though Dean Doherty fired home our second goal during the final quarter, Latton pushed on to win on a scoreline of 3-14 to 2-8.
