Adult Ladies League Division 2 Round 3
Well done to our adult team who made the long trip to Murroe last Wednesday night to take on the home side. Athea got off to the perfect start and opened the scoring in the first minute. It was end to end stuff with both sides taking their chances. Athea capitalised taking some well taken goals and led at the break 3.6 to 10 pts. Despite a resurgence from Murroe / Boher in the second half the Athea backs held strong and it finished 4.6 to 16 pts.
This was very much a young side who stood strong against the intermediate finalists of last year.
