radiant sunshine last Saturday morning. U 8 teams from Dunnamaggin, Gowran(2),

divided into two groups. Each group played three games of 8 minutes a half. A
break for refreshments for all was then had before the finals were played. The

and the city side turned out to be eventual winners. All participants were
presented with goodie bags and medals by county players Willie Phelan and David
Herity. The photograph attached shows Nicky O'Shea presenting the trophy to

on the day and made it so memorable.
