Our midfield duo of Harry Mulvihill & Beau O’Connor had super games, Harry scoring 1-3 to his credit with Beau unlucky not to get on the scoresheet. The half forward line of Jimmy Farrell, Stephen Oates & Willie Stokes were in outstanding form right from the off with Jimmy & Stephen scoring 3-6 between them. Our full forward line of Niall Hawes and Gavin Nulty were in super form also Gavin scoring two super goals in the first half after some great work by Niall, we went in at half time Western Gaels 5-4 Tubberclair 1-6.

Having started the second half with a good lead we continued to keep it as the game went on, a couple of early points set us on our way to a super win. Conor Farrell, Jack Tiernan, Peter Farrell, Michael Smith, John McHugh, Tadhg Tiernan were all introduced at different stages during the game and each played their part in a fantastic team performance.

Easter Bunny news
There was a break in the weather, the sun shon and the Easter bunny was spotted down at Grattans on Saturday and it left loads of eggs for our children to find. Every child managed to find an egg and there was a quiz for all the age groups and even a few prizes for parents, (although some of the questions where very difficult). A big thank you to everyone who came to support the club and all the children for having such great fun. A special mention to several older children who helped the younger ones found eggs in our great little community.
