This morning the Under 11Bs played their final match of the season against the unbeaten Leinster side. Since we were also unbeaten this was a winners take all game. Unfortunately, we came out the wrong side of a very close and competitive game. Well done to Leinster. The Under 11bs had been unbeaten for 2 seasons up until today so while the team were a bit disappointed they came hold their heads up high and be very proud of their record. For the record the Under 11 teams results this year deserve to be recorded
