Ulster Camogie Junior Club Final
Despite a gallant effort from the girls, it wasn’t to be their day. It was an evenly matched encounter for most of the match but when Clontibret went two ahead in the final minutes of the game, we battled hard and had opportunities but just couldn’t get the scores.
Hard luck girls and management, we are so proud of you all.
Cross 1-05 Clontibret O’Neills 1-07
