Well done to St Mary’s P.S. Aughlisnafin / St Joseph’s P.S. Carnacaville amalgamated team who performed superbly in the Preliminary rounds of the Canor Esler Cup & Shield competition in Annsborough last Friday morning. They defeated Newcastle, Loughinisland and Kilcoo but lost by the minimum to Hilltown which sees them through to the semi final of the Canor Esler Shield. Incidently they were beaten in the final of the Shield last year by Hilltown and some players are still involved this year.
