Our AIL squad travelling to Clonmel last Saturday and after 20 minutes were down 12-0 and 2 yellow cards. However, by half time scores were level. After a strong 2nd half, we ran out 12-26 with Clonmel held scoreless until the last few minutes of the game. The result consolidates our mid table position as after round 7 of the AIL we lie in 6th place. With two weekends off, the next round will take place on December 7th in Alcast Park against Dolphin.

The J1 Metro fixture against Wanderers FC takes place tonight Friday, 22nd November at 8pm in Merrion Rd. All support appreciated.

The South East Lions had a difficult day out away to Greystones last Sunday but still lie in 3rd place in the League with a game in hand. Their next game is Sunday, December 1st away to Tallaght.
