Community Games:
Two teams representing Ennis St.John’s, and comprised of members from our club participated in the Munster Finals of the Community Games. This year marks the final year of U-16 competition at this event, and from next year it will be an U-13 only event.
This year, our U13 Team finished a commendable second – just missing out on qualification for the All-Ireland series of the event, while our U-16 team were edged out in the semi-final stage by last year’s champions Blarney.
U-13 Team: Emily Lester, Shauna Kearney, Emila Kovale, Mayowa Atijohn and Tommywa Atijohn. U-16 Team: Nathan D'Arcy, Nick Lester, Stephen Keane, Karen McNamara, Chris Kearney and Niamh O’Shea.
