U16s(St.Pats):St.Pats bowed out of their Championship campaign last Thursday evening when Aughnamullen beat them in the semi-final in what must have been the closest and most exciting game of the year.Both teams were level at half time and again at full time resulting in extra time having to be played ending in Aughnamullen going on to win by 2 points having scored a goal in the dying minutes of the game.Final score Aughnamullen 3.12 St.Pats 3.10.Hard luck to the team who fought to the bitter end with every player giving their all.With already winning the league cup you should all be very proud of yourselves on both your performance last Thursday evening and throughout the entire season. The management wishes to use this opportunity to thank all the players for their outstanding commitment to training and games and to David McGregor, Darren Duffy and Christopher McGuinness who helped out at various training sessions.And so until next year …….!!
