Kennedy Shield Quarter Final-
3-0 down at half time to an impressive Midlands Squad
It’s what wearing County Colours should be about - passion - pride & purpose saw them produce a stunning second half comeback to grab a 5-3 victory 👍
Semi final at 12noon vs Kerry pitch
Best of luck to our Kennedy Cup Squad this evening. While Twitter slept, they performed well in the group stages, finishing third and just one more goal scored in any game have had them in second and in certain circumstances first! Shield next vs Midlands at 4pm.
