Champions 

 Well done to our U20s team that defeated Denn by a single point to win the Div 3 county championship, sponsored by McEvoys Supervalu Virginia, in a thrilling game at Kingspan Breffni 3G on Sunday. The lads were losing by 2 pts at full time when Óisín Cunningham blasted a pass from Paddy Meade into the Denn net in injury time. The lads, captained by Jack Kelly, fought bravely throughout the game and never dropped the heads. A well deserved win for manager Philly Smith and selectors Philly Tinnelly and Paddy Farrelly. Comhghairdeas libh go léir!

The draw will now take place on Tuesday night in the Court Inn, with a draw for more Christmas vouchers.
