The Seniors were first up and kicked things off at 2pm with a hard fought 1 point win over last year’s Senior Championship winners and old rivals St Kiernans. Final score TCG 1-08 St Kiernans 1-07. The Junior team followed suit at 3.30pm in what was an open game against a tough Moindearg side who were playing their first game since relegation from Intermediate.
