COMMUNITY GAMES
Hard luck to both our U11 and U14 Tag rugby teams in the County semi-finals recently.
The U11’s fought bravely but came up against a very strong Ardagh/moydow/glen team.
U14’s ran a strong Clonguish team to the final whistle only to lose by two pints in the end.
A big thank you to Tag rugby mentors Peter O Boyle, Donna Bermingham and Anne Kelly for giving up so much of their time to coach and prepare the teams for competition games.
Also to all the children and parents involved.
