ACFL Division 2 

We play Ballymahon in the next round of the league this Saturday in Monaduff at 7pm. We were awarded the points for the Killashee match which was due to take place last Sunday. Best of luck to the team and management. We wish Stephen Cosgrave a speedy recovery from the severe injury he sustained in the last Division 4 match against Ballymahon
