The scheduled Division 1 game V Milltowpass was postponed until further notice due to a bereavement in the Milltownpass club. We send our condolences to the Milltownpass community and the family of Tom Gorman who was the club’s founding member and club president. Ar Dheis Dé go raibh a anam.
The Division 4 made it two wins from two with a seven-point win over Garrycastle at home on Sunday afternoon. Goals in either half from Tadhg Nolan and Shane Murtagh were ultimately the difference between the two sides on a final score-line of The Downs 2-11 Garrycastle 0-10.
