The Minor boys recorded an excellent win in the semi final of the minor A championship on Friday night last when they beat St. Johns to advance to the Minor A Final which will take place in October. The team travelled to St. Johns having lost to the same opposition last
month in the group stages of the championship. At half time it was level at 7points each, but the team came out in the second half and gave a blistering performance to win on a final score of 2-13 to 11 points. The team now face St. Marys in the final of the competition. This is a wonderful achievement for the team who competed in the B section last year. Well done to all involved.
