Pride of place this week goes to our McGovern Directional Drilling Seniors on their great win against Strokestown in the Senior Championship in Elphin on Saturday evening last. This victory means qualification for the County Quarter Final where it is anticipated that Padraig Pearses will be our opponents. It also means promotion to Section A of the Senior Championship for 2016. Congratulations to the panel and the management for their hard work throughout the season to date. We hope that there is much more to come. The Club extends its best wishes for speedy recoveries to the players who were injured in the game. The Seniors are also scheduled to play St Faithleachs in the final round of the O’Rourke Cup on Saturday evening next at 6.45pm in the Abbey Park.
