Well done to Ciara Oliver, Sarah Jane Flynn, Sophie Quaid and Orlaith Hickey who are part of the Ahane-Murroe/Boher team who have won their first four championship games. Next Tuesday (28th August) they will play Monaleen in Ahane. Next Friday sees our U16 team get their season up and running with fixture TBC. Our U6 & U8 players travelled to Claughan on Saturday for a fun day of camogie. Congratulations to Seamus Hickey and the Limerick senior hurling team on a fantastic win last weekend, a great achievement.
