A large crowd witnessed a titanic battle in Aughrim with our neighbours Rathnew in the Senior County Football Final on Sunday. A first half goal from Tommy Kelly had the lads leading with a half time scoreline: St. Patricks 1-06 Rathnew 0-07. The second half was a tight game with both sides taking some excellent scores. With Rathnew ahead by the bare minimum in the dying seconds of the game full back Shane Murley found himself in position to fist the equalising score to earn a replay on Saturday 27th October with the full time score St. Patrick’s 1-10 Rathnew 0-13.

Well done to all involved for an entertaining game of football.
