*Exiles Match*
Back on St Stephens Day we had our annual exiles match which was great Craic once again. It was great to see former players back from overseas and across the country dusting off their boots for the game which, funnily enough, ended in a draw once again, 6-9 to 3-18, meaning the Exiles retain their trophy! Thanks to James McGinley for refereeing and everyone who came out on the day and joined in on the fun. See you all at same time, same place next year!
