Minor Update
After the recent exam break our young minor hurlers were glad to get back to action in Down League v Padraig Mac Raing ( Warrenpoint, Newry Shamrocks, Clonduff) at home.
An even first half left it all square at the break. The opposition got the better of Craobh Rua in second half and ran out 6 point winners. It was a good game with both sides displaying some fine hurling skills This Wednesday 26th June we host Keady in Armagh league action.
