Everyone is very proud of their efforts. Well done to Leah Waters on winning Player of the Match. A special word of thanks to their coach Mike Mulleady who has been working hard in the school now for a number of years. St. Patrick’s NS, Ballinamuck played the championship final yesterday, Tuesday, against Killasonna.
