Not to be tonight, but a much improved performance from the Senior Men.

All square at ht, the Hoops then took a 4 point lead with 15 to go. Clonduff fought back and a couple of late scores put them 2 up and time started to run out. An RGU effort for a 2 pointer went narrowly wide with the last kick, and that was that.

RGU 0.11, Clonduff 0.13.

Halfway through the league now as the return fixtures start next week, with Carryduff visiting PTR on 12th June.

On Saturday morning, our U8’s and U10s hosted Loughinisland and Bredagh for a fantastic morning of games. Every single girl represented their respective clubs with immense pride and determination.

The quality of football on display was absolutely excellent, especially considering their young years. 🤩💪

It's safe to say that the future of Ladies Gaelic Football is in very safe hands!
A massive thank you to the coaches from visiting clubs and of course Paddy for helping to sort the pitch!

As many as possible, for as long as possible💪🇳🇬🏐
