Well done to our Junior B Team who defeated Coolera/Strandhill in Junior B Championship Semi Final and secured their place in the Junior B Final.

The game took place in lovely weather conditions in Scarden on Saturday evening. Coolaney/Mullinabreena dominated the first quarter with great points from all their forwards.
