WHAT'S ANOTHER YEAR? Noone has told me but I am prepared to bet that Tony Hannon was among many Wicklow people in Croke park on Sunday.

Kids have a ball at C�l camps

Glenealy 6-5, Knockananna 5-6: Glenealy and Knockananna served up pulsating entertainment for the couple of hundred enthralled spectators that were fortunate enough to be present in Avondale GAA grounds last Wednesday night. Knockananna entered the game as slight favourites by virtue of a comprehensive league victory over the Glenealy girls six weeks ago. Glenealy for their part were chasing a third consecutive title at this grade and determined to prevent the team from the west adding to the under-14 title that they captured with some ease earlier in the month.

Emmets hold out against Avondale

By MARK KENNEDY

BRAY EMMETS held out for a narrow win over Avondale in the replay of their Junior C hurling championship game at Ashford on Thursday night. Avondale had a chance of putting this replay to extra-time when they were awarded a 20 metre free in injury-time. Clive Heffernan blasted to the net for what would have been the equaliser, but the referee cancelled the score and ordered that the free be retaken because he had not given the signal for the shot as he was tied up recording an Avondale substitution at the same time.
