KILWORTH

CONGRATS

What a great bunch the Kilara Og U15 hurlers are with their never-saydie attitude! This is the kind of spirit that won them County final honours at the expense of Mallow in the Premier 2 County Final played in Shanballymore last Sunday. Well done to one and all and to their management team on a fantastic win.
