Moyvane juniors had a great win over Laune Rangers C in the final of the Barrett cup recently. This was a tremendous win for our lads and in fairness to them they put a big effort into this competition. A great goal by Johnny Stack put Moyvane on their way and with our forwards picking off points from all angles Moyvane ran out winners on a score of Moyvane 1-14, to Laune Rangers C 0-10. Well done to Mike Brosnan and his selectors on a fine win and end their year on a high note.
