Premier Butcher @Dawn Meats Winter League

After 17 weeks we have finally come to an end of the league section in this year’s Winter League. Thanks again to the wonderful people at Dawn Meats for coming up with the sponsorship of the league,, something all here in the Club are very grateful for. The league itself was once again an outstanding success with over one thousand five hundred games played during the course of the 17 weeks. The results are now in and it is congratulations to Dunhill who topped the table and hold on to the title. Dunhill put in a massive effort and led the way with more games played than any other team. Ballinacourty finished second, a bit closer to Dunhill this year, The Copper Coast finished 3rd with Deise and Tourneena making up the teams in the match-play stages. Unfortunately, Abbeyside and Dungarvan did not make the play-offs but thanks must go to both teams for their contribution to the league.
