Skerries Harps draw with reigning champions Ballymun Kickhams in Saturday evening's Go-Ahead Dublin SFC1 Group 3 Round 2 clash at Parnell Park.
Huge congrats to our talented Intermediate team who had a fine 1-17 to 2-7 win over Oliver Plunketts in what was the first win in this competition in ten years for the Club since the great day in 2011 when the firsts beat Cuala.
Well done to all and they now move into the concluding stages in fine style.
A good win for our Ladies Footballers last night in an important Championship match which sets them up nicely for their last group game following a fine team performance which resulted in a 2-12 to 2-6 win over Parnells. A close one in the first half but the important scores arrived after the break as a result of some fine team play all over the field which was on the night well deserved.
Below we see a happy ‘Becky’ receiving her fabulous award as Player of the Match from Pat Dwyer.
