Thanks to the McMullan brothers of the Kane Group for sponsoring a new set of Senior jerseys and being our seniors’ main sponsor for the year. Having one of the most successful local businesses as a main sponsor will drive the club forward to become the most successful local GAA club.

After a great first year last year our ladies start their season this Saturday with a home game to Clonduff at 7pm. Come out and support the girls

First game for our U-14s was against bright, unfortunately we were beat. The boys had a hard game and just drop the heads. Last weeks game was against Ardglass and it was a great team performance. Rory McMullan was all over the field with Damian and Caolan Murray working hard in defence, Andrew and Caolan Burns were brilliant up front scoring a number of our scores. Ardglass were 9 points up at half-time and the second half the Johnnies turned it around and won by 16 points. The boys kept there heads and it was great game to watch. Next week is a home game against Dundrum.

The U12’s travelled to Drumaness on Sunday with a full squad. The Johnnies played against a very stiff breeze in the first half but put up a large score of 5: 7 fresh legs were brought on in the second half and the team went on to have their first win of the season all the boys and girls worked hard and played well thanks to Drumaness for a sporting game.
