GAA action

Well done to the Gusserane intermediate hurlers who clocked up a big score to defeat Geraldine O’Hanrahans in their league game in New Ross on Friday night last. The junior footballers had also won their contest with the Gers the previous week to maintain their unbeaten record in the league.

Well done meanwhile to Darren Rossiter and Mitch Cullen who were part of the Weford set up that recorded a superb win in the minor football championship against Meath during the week. Darren followed this up with an impressive win over Kilkenny in the minor hurling three days later where he rattled the net two times.

Well done also to Amanda Power, Aoife Cullen and Shaune Hackett who all featured in Wexford’s intermediate championship win over Wicklow recently and were also part of the Wexford victorious set up against Offaly last weekend.

But pride of place these days go to the Gusserane Feile girls. They won the camogie final and were beaten in the final of the football last weekend. The future is bright.
