Ladies Suffer Narrow Final Defeat:
The Ladies minor team lost by 3-4 to 2-6 to St.Laurences in the championship final yesterday. Well done to all involved on reaching the final, and lets hope they can go one better next year, as I have been told that most of the team will still be underage next season.

Rags on County Duty:
Both Darren Barker and Brian Bell were part of the Kildare squad that had a friendly Under 21 win over Wicklow on Saturday morning. Lets hope they can both establish themselves for the championship.
Also Jamie Lambe was playing for the Gardai against Tipperary where he had the unenviable task of marking Declan Browne.

The Exodus continues:
Best of luck to Senior player Christopher Howard who leaves for Australia today. He leaves with the best wishes of all of Kilcullen GAA. His winning goal against Sarsfileds in the championship last year is a moment that will never be forgotten by those who were there to witness it.
