Tinryland G.F.C. Club Notes 26th May 2024
It was a busy week on the underage scene with 5 Tinryland teams in action. On Sunday last our U14 team was involved in a very close game with Clonmore only losing out by the minimum margin on a scoreline of 4-8 to 2-13. Our minor U18 team gained compensation on the following evening when they defeated the same opposition in a high scoring game in Hacketstown by 4-14 to 0-19.
At U14 level Tinryland defeated Michael Davitts on Wednesday last by 4-11 to 3-7. On Friday last both of our U12 teams were away to our near neighbours Palatine with the red team winning and the green team losing out.
In the coming week our minor team will be in action on both Monday and Friday. On Monday 27th May the minors will host Rathvilly with a 7 p.m. throw in while on Friday next 31st May Wicklow area team St. Nicholas will pay their first visit to Rathcrogue with this game also due to start at 7 p.m.
