Sean’s Notes
Adult team. Last Wednesday evening in Newbliss our senior team had a comprehensive win over neighbours Killeevan in the Junior Football League on a score line of Killeevan 0 -6 Seans 3 -12. The goals; a brace from David Mc Entee and a third from James Treanor setting our boys up for this victory.

Our Junior Championship clash with neighbours Aghabog is provisionally fixed for Friday 9th August.
