The White squad travelled away to Bray and again battled hard and unfortunately lost out by one score but again some The Red squad were at home to Coolboy (who had long trip up fairplay to Coolboy and great to see team from small area thanks lads) and after battling right to the end and all players turning over a lot of play came away losing very marginally but great to see huge effort put in by all players.
