After a strong first half where they opened up a six point lead, two fortuitous goals at the end of the first half seen an uphill task against the wind. Congratulations to St. Fintan’s Our Lady’s Island in Wexford and congratulations to everyone who helped out in any way over the course of the weekend who made it one to remember for years to come.

Annacurra would like to thank the participating juvenile clubs for attending and displaying the “Give Respect Get Respect” ethos of the GAA. The future is bright for the county with the quality of footballing skill that our opponents brought on the day.
The club would also like to thank the young players and parents from Annacurra who participated and did us so proud and to pay special tribute to the juvenile coaches and mentors for all the hard work they are doing ensuring the future success of the club.
In addition we would also like to thank Martin O’Brien, James Fitzgerald, Robert Fitzgerald, Philip Doyle, Stephen Murphy and Jack Byrne for referring the games on the day. It is a new undertaking indeed for Annacurra club men to be referring at any level.
