JOHN WHITE CARPENTRY WINTER LEAGUE 2023/2024
Our Winter League kindly sponsored by John White Carpentry Services has now reached Final stage after two exciting semi-final matches took place yesterday Sunday in lovely conditions. First out at 10a.m. were old rivals Nire/Touraneena and Stradbally. This was a tightly fought match with top qualifiers Nire/Touraneena coming out on top against a strong Stradbally. Next up at 11.30a.m. Dunhill took on Ballinacourty. Again, this match went down to the wire with resilient Ballinacourty prevailing in the end against a tough Dunhill side. They march on now to meet Nire/Touraneena in the grand final on Sunday 24th March to see who will be crowned Winter league winners for 2024. Best of luck to both Captains and their teams, we look forward to an exciting finale.
