Junior:
Our junior team were away to Carrig Celtic in their last game of the season on Sunday afternoon. An early goal each
from Mike Keeffe and Pat Carroll was enough to take all three points. Carrig did get one back in the second half to
give a final score of 2-1 to Granagh. The lads just missed out on promotion with a third place finish, but not to worry
better luck next season.
