Lorrha Notes
Commiserations
Hard luck to a very young Lorrha U13 team who lost the North final to a much stronger Ballinahinch/Templederry side on Sunday last in Kilcolman. Most of the Lorrha team have already won both North and County U12 medals earlier in the season so will be happy with that. The step up to the U13 level proved too much for them. Commiserations to all. A small selection of photographs under Gallery.
