Two cracking matches were played by the boys of St Oliver Plunkett N.S. yesterday, at the Cumann na mBunscoil finals in Loughgeorge. They were grouped in the prelims with two strong schools, Killeeneen N.S. and Gurteen N.S. The first game the boys from Newcastle played was against Killeeneen, made up primarily of boys from Clarinbridge Hurling Club. Newcastle were convincing winners of this game, with titanic exhibitions by all players. Their 2nd game was against Gurteen N.S., made up of players from Padraig Pearses Hurling Club. Despite the driving rain, the boys from Newcastle came out as the winners of this game also. They are now through to the county semi finals. This competition should have concluded yesterday, but due to the incessant rain, it was decided to postpone matches until a future date. Congratulations boys on reaching the semi finals, and the best of luck to the team under managers Mr O'Connor and Mr Hickey.

It wasn't to be for the girls mini 7s camogie team from St Oliver Plunkett N.S Newcastle. At the Cumann na mbunscoil competition yesterday, they came up against a strong side from Coldwood N.S in the county semi final and were beaten in this game.
