6 County Finals

6 County Champions!
The Junior A to F 2021 season has come to an end, finishing up with six exciting county finals. While we had a shortened 2021 season, it was no less action-packed, with a multitude of games for all teams throughout the league and championship.
For many clubs, the teams participating in the Junior A to F competitions are a club’s second, third and even fourth team and these competitions provide the opportunity for so many players to “don the jersey” and line out for their club.
Well done to the 12 teams on reaching the county finals this past weekend and congratulations to our six winners, Mooncoin, Dicksboro, Fenians, Slieverue, Rower Inistioge and Dunnamaggin!
