Tinryland G.F.C. Club Notes 24th March 2024
Despiting losing by 3 points to unbeaten Leighlinbridge our junior team showed much improvement in round 3 of the S.F.L. division 3 on Saturday last. In a close match the result of this game was in the balance until the closing stages with both teams looking like winners on a number of occasions. Outstanding for Tinryland on Saturday were Chris Townsend, Vivian Nixon, Padraic Whelan, Conall McGuire, Conor Carew and Glenn Doyle. The juniors will be back in action on Saturday 6th April away to The Fighting Cocks at 7.30 p.m.
Our senior team will be next in action at home to Palatine on Friday 5th April at 7.30 p.m. in a game that will also be contested for the Andy Murphy memorial shield in aid of Carlow hospice.
