Juvenile presentation night: Our juvenile presentation night took place in our clubhouse on Tuesday, April 12. As this was our first presentation night in a couple of years, it was a busy one, with juvenile chairman Seán McKenna and coaches and mentors introducing our winning teams from both 2020 and 2021. These included the 2021 U-13 Division Two Shield winners and championship runners-up, U-15 Division One league runners-up; U-15 Division Five Shield winners and league runners-up; 2020 U-13 runners-up and U-15 Division One and Five Shield winners. We were delighted to have the Sam Maguire Cup available for photographs on the night, thanks to Cuthbert Donnelly for facilitating us. Congratulations to our 2021 U-17 captain Gary Devlin on winning the Kieran Morgan Memorial trophy for our overall Juvenile Player of the Year. Thanks to everyone involved in preparing for and running a great night for the club.

Reserves: We returned to winning ways in the RFL Division 1A away to Clontibret last night (Wednesday).

We had to play into the breeze in the second half, but goals by Luke McManus and Conor Duffy kept us ahead and with Conor McCrystal adding a couple of points, we stayed ahead to win on a scoreline of 3-10 to 1-11.
