Seniors dumped out of championship

In a season that never hit the heights of 2004, our final game against St. Anne's in the quarter-final of the WFC Senior football championship ended in ignominy when we were decisively beaten on a 2-13 to 0-2 scoreline. Indeed the margin of defeat would have been much worse were it not for the wasteful shooting of our opponents who shot an amazing 17 wides. To compound this defeat was the injury to inter county star Redmond Barry, who suffered a broken jaw in a most unsavoury incident just before half-time. Everyone at the club wishes him a speedy recovery and look forward to seeing him back in action as soon as possible.

For this group of players it's back to the drawing board after a very poor display. Last year's county final appearance showed that the talent is there, but consistency is a major problem. Hopefully, we can put this year behind us and build on our recent underage success to bounce back again.
