U16 Roinn A HL V Dunnamaggin -Monday 20/4/2015
Report by Philomena Brennan
The u-16s continued their league campaign with a trip to the South on Monday last where they competed against Dunnamaggin.

U16 Roinn A HL V Thomastown – Monday 13/4/2015
Report by Philomena Brennan:
After a good start to the Roinn A League campaign the local boys entertained Thomastown in Tom Ryall Park, Kilmanagh on Monday 13th April last. GBC playing with the assistance of a very strong breeze stunned the Thomastown defence with a well taken goal from Sean Ryan shortly after the throw in. This seemed to set the tone for the first half as the boys did not allow Thomastown to settle on the ball for any period of time in this first half. Read more
