Laragh GAA

Huge congratulations to our fantastic u11 team who defeated Éire Óg Greystones to claim the trophy at the weekend’s finals in Balinakill C.O.E. It was an end to end game from start to finish with the best of skills on the display form across the pitch, scoring 44 points in a final is no mean feat!

It was clear to see what it meant to this team at the full time whistle, utter joy! When Aodh Kennedy, our captain lifted that trophy it was like their All Ireland final! 

A big thanks must go out to the coaches, Ger, Tommy, Martina, Pat and Ray for their time and dedication all year, they really are a credit to the club. Thanks to the parents and supporters of the team for cheering them on all year! 

Another thanks goes out to McCoy’s Laragh for sponsoring some energy drinks for the team, very important on a lovely day in Ballinakill. 

Hopefully it’s only the start of the trophy haul for our club this season!!
