The lads lost narrowly to Monaleen from Limerick after a tie breaker round for 3rd place. Well done to Martin Maguire, Brian Doyle, Michael Dinneny and Tommy Mcgibney on their excellent effort and no doubt the team will be back next year. Also well done to the Mullahoran Instrumental Music and Crosserlough Set Dancers on their performances in the final but were unfortunately unsuccessful.
