Tain Og League – Well done to the u13 hurlers who played St. Eunan’s on the 29th of April in the Táin league. Eunan’s were the much bigger team but the Leitrim boys didn’t let them dictate the game with the sides level at half time with the help of a wonder goal by Barry Loughlin. Eunan’s ran out winners in the second half. They played Belleek in their last game and enjoyed the experience. They play Erne Gaels Belle away this coming Monday at 7pm. Keep up the good work lads.
