Our 2015/16 born footballers had a fantastic day out at St. Jude's GAA Club, Templelogue last Sunday for their Mini All-Ireland Festival of Football. 28 boys travelled with coaches and parents and they competed very well in their matches. St. Jude's put on a marvellous day out with the Sam Maguire Cup in attendance also. A pit-stop at Supermacs on the return home capped off a wonderful day for all. A huge thanks is due to all the coaches who made it possible.
