FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP THIS SATURDAY

On behalf of the club we would like to wish the very best of luck to our junior footballers and their management as they begin their football championship campaign next Saturday in Ballyhooley against Buttevant. We came very close to beating this same side last year as we led by twelve points in the quarter-final, only to be beaten by a point at the death. Let’s hope for better luck next weekend! Please come along and support the lads on Saturday. All support will be greatly appreciated. Kilworth Abú!
