We had two teams taking part and it was great to see their continued growth in confidence on the ball. With some great movements, there was an exhibition of Senan Kilbride-style point taking. The boys and parents should be proud of the boys with regard to the respect shown to the referees on the day.

Cumann na mBunscol Primary Schools: Hard luck to the Curraghboy National School team who lost out in the two teacher county semi-final to an older and physically much bigger Grange NS side on a scoreline of 9-4 to 5-6.

Despite their loss, this was a great campaign for the Curraghboy players and if they keep progressing, a county title is surely only around the corner.
