The 4s also drew with Glenanne, this time with a 2-2 draw, while the 5ths match was cancelled as the opposition couldn’t field a team.
On the ladies side, 2 teams grabbed full points! The 2s got their first points of the season with a 3-0 win over North Kildare, Katie Dowling, Rebecca Moffat and Katherine Herron scoring. The 1sts also grabbed a vital 3 points in whats a tight looking league, winning 1-0 over Naas with Aoife McNulty scoring. The 4ths game was cancelled due to timing issues, and will be rescheduled, while the 2s suffered a narrow 2-1 loss to Our Ladys, with Isabelle O’Brien scoring.
