St, Vincent’s Hurling and Football club pavilion was a hive of activity on Bank Holiday Monday last with three competitions being run which included a youths singles the men’s Fosters doubles and men’s Fosters plate competition.

The resulting semifinals then saw Field and Kearney defeat Fouhy and Muldoon and Teehan and O’Donovan overcome O’Brien and Cassidy with the following final resulting in a 4-3 win for the Harp pairing.
The Fosters sponsored plate competition was as always much appreciated by the players concerned and the semiifinals stage saw the Harp Bar pairing of Radek Szaganski and Kevin McDonnell defeat the Tower Bar pairing of Stephen Hill and Dinny Bob’s while Robbie O’Donovan and Pat McSweeney of the Groves/Joshua Tree defeated Pierce Carmody and Stephen Sheehan from the Top of the Hill with the resulting plate final also going to the Harp pairing on a 3-1 scoreline.
