Our seniors league game against neighbours Killeavy ended in a draw, the score being 0-13 apiece. It was a game that both sides had the chance to win, Killeavy starting off well and leading by a 10pts to 4 at half time. The second half saw a determined effort from Craobh Rua which saw them peg back their opposition. Craobh Rua has chances to win the game and take both points in their league opener but in the end had to settle for a draw.
This Tuesday the 9th Of April Craobh Rua seniors will host Céide Lamh Dhearg (Keady) in the league.
