The Kent Stainless Steel under 10 Football competition is now winding up after the biggest number of entries ever. Well done to all the teams on the superb football they have been playing over the last two months.
The Gorey District is completely finalised and the clubs there deserve great credit for sticking so well to the schedule. The finals were played in Naomh Éanna’s pitch last Wednesday night and Shay Keevans from the Gusserane club was on hand to present the cups and medals.

B. Craanford beat St Patrick’s
