Newtowngore Engineering U-17’s: The lads lost out to Leitrim Gaels in the 13 aside championship final the weekend before last but they put in a great effort all summer. They were beaten by a physically stronger team but with the bulk of the squad underage for at least another year they will have better times ahead. We wish Aaron McCawley a speedy recovery after sustaining a serious injury in the semi-final which ruled him out of the decider. Well done to all the players and to Micky, Fergus & Noel.

U-16 Girls: The girls game fell victim to the weather at the weekend. Best of luck to them in their remaining fixtures.
