A big thanks to the O’Neill and Kirby Families for a great day out in Trim. Everything was brilliant and best wishes to Mark and Angie for their future together.
Our Senior hurlers missed out on promotion by a single point as they failed to beat St. Pats of Palmerstown last Wednesday night in a high scoring game. Having come back from a 8 points lead twice, the team lacked the killer punch to go on and win the game.
Well done to the Dublin Footballers who overcame Tyrone in Croke Park!!

On a windy Friday night in the Bogies, Clontarf overcame table toppers Finbars in a closely fought league match. It took the Barrs a long time to settle as the oppsition went in at half time with a three point lead.
The second half belonged to the Barrs as they drew level with ten minutes left. Clontarf made a quick break and got the games only goal and follow up to go four points ahead with three minutes left. The Barrs reduced the lead to two points and nearly got a goal in the last minute.

O’Dwyers travelled from Ballbriggan tonight to Cabra and won this divison 10 match against a fancied Naomh Fionbarra team. In wet conditions O’Dwyers won by 1-8 to 0-7 for the Barrs.
The Barrs left their shooting boots at home after kicking over 30 wides!! The team never stopped trying and there was yet again a great turn out with a squad of 22. As this is the first year for a 3rd team playing in the league, great credit must go to the mentors and players who turn up!
