The last incident of the game ended being a goal for Blackhall. Thus ended the third teams league campaign for 2024.. They have retained their status in A League Division 8 for 2025 season with early wins and draws at beginning of league. . The Club had difficulty fieding teams due to exams,holidays ,injuries, young players and students working. With three just games played they had used thirty (30)players and forty five in all during league. Great credit to Managers Charlie McNulty/ Martin Gorman selectors Timmy Sullivan and Dan Kane.
