Thomas McCurtains club notes

October 14, 2019

There was a fantastic win for our Hurlers on Sunday against Sean Traceys to retain their Senior status for next year. A draw at half time, the Macs kicked on in the second period to record a two point win. The year is not over however as they still have the Division 1 League Final against Kilburn Gaels to look forward to.

Next weekend the Footballers are on the road up to Birmingham to take on Oisin from Manchester in the British Junior Club Football Championship Quarter Final. All support is welcome.
