U12 Division 2 Football
Carnew came up short against a strong St. Kevin’s of Hollywood team on Monday 6th of April. St. Kevin’s got off to a great start with some skilful long range points from distance and a few goals for good measure. Daniel Redmond led the charges for Carnew in the second half. Carnew were competitive for this period but, with many of the panel missing, it proved too big a task in the end.
