Galway Underage Representation
With the Tipperary Supporters Club U16 and Tony Forristal U14 All Ireland Championships taking place over the weekend in Tipperary and Waterford respectively Carnmore were represented at both grades.
Robert Healy lined out at wing back for the Galway U16 B squad and Conor Flaherty was a centre half back for the Galway U14 A side. The U16s had a tough day failing to qualify from their group. There was better fortune for the U14s who battled their way to the final only to be defeated by Cork by three points in what was a great performance.
Well done to both Robert and Conor who hurled well over the weekend.
