Graigue-Ballycallan had their first championship football tie this year against Inistioge in the Rower on Sunday 29th March. Sixteen players were available and took to the field on an extremely stormy day. Inistioge won the toss and played downhill and with the wind in the first half. Against the run of play Ballycallan scored a goal after twenty minutes and this was the only score of the first half. Read more
Our U10’s return outdoors to Kilmanagh Saturday 28th March having completed four weeks indoor training in Wallslough.
