The Banner 0-05
Newmarket-on-Fergus 0-04
By Colm Liddy
It was a very disappointing defeat but one from which we can learn. There were many good individual performances but our positional sense was poor as was our teamwork. That will become our focus in training. The team is capable of much better and will have several matches to prove it over the coming weeks. Not least in a rematch with The Banner in a fortnight.
