Aido file: It was a disappointing day for our Under-12s who lost out in the league semi-final against Castleblayney last week. A tough day out but keep the Harps flag flying, lads! Best of luck to our senior hurlers who head to the Kilmacud mini sevens for the All-Ireland weekend. May it be a weekend to remember!
Hurling fundraiser: Well done to everyone involved in the Hurling Club’s fundraising pool exhibition between former World Snooker champion Ken Doherty and Irish pool champion Seán Hoey in Tír na nÓg last Friday. A great night was had by all.
