The trophies were accepted on behalf of the teams by captains Jack Wilson - A Championship and Lee Ferris - C Championship - a huge congratulations to the players and coaches - well deserved 👏👏👏
More great news as our St Edwards U14 C Championship team earned their place in the championship final after a win against Raheens and huge well done to our U14G Championship team who showed huge determination and never gave up against a strong Leixlip team in their last game of the season. We are so proud of the boys and their teamwork 👏👏

On Monday, our U16 hurlers played their shield final against Emerald Gaels in Kilcock. It looked like it wasn't to be in the closing few minutes of the game but the lads as always dug deep , down by 2 with minutes to go 3 quickly won points got them the win.

On Wednesday our Minor hurlers played Sarsfields in their B Championship semi final, in a cracking game of hurling, which saw the game go to extra time after it finished Ardclough 2-10 - Sarsfields 1-13 . The lads played their hearts out but couldn't bring it back and it finished 2-14 to 1-20. Not the finish they wanted but we are incredibly proud of the team and coaches and thanks to all the supporters who cheered them on 🖤❤️💛
