A good year for our sister club Bennekerry/Tinryland ladies got even better on Wednesday last when they captured the UPMC Carlow minor ladies title in a thrilling final against Old Leighlin by 3-5 to 2-7. This was the 3rd championship won by the ladies of Bennekerry/Tinryland in 2023 having already won the Tel Lab sponsored senior and Junior titles.
Tinryland G.F.C. held their 2nd awards night on Friday which was attended by a large crowd. The U15 and U17 championship medals were presented to the teams by our club president Joe O’Gorman. Speakers on the night included club chairman Bernard Mullen, juvenile chairman Peter Scully and Emma Deane from the juvenile committee who all praised the various coaches for their efforts during the past year. A new cup for the boys U15 (B) championship named after the late Brendan Hayden was presented to Lorraine McGuire from Coisde na Nog by Joe O’Gorman. The U15 player of the year was Jamie Doyle who received the Brendan Hayden shield while the U17 player of the year was Sean Murphy who was presented with the John Scott shield.
