Under 14 news: Our under 14s will play in the James Hurley Blitz in Mallow on 4th June. They really enjoyed their recent day in the sun and water in Portmarnock!
Another 2 pointer: Congratulations to Kerri Austin, Naomh Maur, who scored a two pointer in each half from side line cuts at an Under 11 game in Rush against Naomh Barróg. Although this did not take place during a competitive league or championship match it is still a wonderful achievement for the young Naomh Maur player. A future star! Well done Kerri. All in Naomh Maur must be very proud of you!
