Underage teams enjoy successful weekend in Wexford

18th April 2006: The U16 and U18 teams had a great time in Oylegate over the Easter weekend. They played four matches giving a good account of themselves in all with the U16s winning both of theirs. The minors found themselves up against stronger opposition but rose to the challenge well to put up two very respectable performances. Our thanks is due to Oylegate-Glenbrien GAA club, their players, officers and parents and to the Duffry Rovers GAA club who we also played during our visit.
