GAA

Seniors: Moyvane lost ground in the County league last week when they lost 0-11 to 1-10 to Firies in a tight and tense game in Moyvane. Man of the match was Moyvane’s Conor Flynn. Moyvane GAA wishes James Casey of Firies a speedy recovery to full fitness after he received what looked like a serious injury in last weeks game.

Minors: Moyvane had a hard earned win over neighbours Tarbert at home last Friday. Final score Moyvane 0-13 Tarbert 0-11.
