Goals from Aaron Doherty, Luke Casey Jack Murphy and Jack Oldham helped the boys remain undefeated so far this season. Next up were the under 11s on Sunday when they entertained Richmond in Coachford. The Home team wearing their new strip, sponsored by DCE computers played the better football throughout and won by 3 goals to 1.
