All County Primary School Hurling League

Today in Owenbeg Derry Coaching and Games Committee organised the All County Primary School's Hurling League. 11teams took part in the 7 aside Go Games blitz.

The Hurling league final was contested between St. Eoghan’s Moneyneena and St. Canice Dungiven with St. Canice coming out on top in a very good final. Thanks to everyone for taking part. The standard was very high, it's a testament to all the hard work being done in hurling at the clubs and schools and by the County Coaching staff, in particular Kevin Hinphey and Francis Scullion.
