Na Piarsaigh GAA Club Notes:

Saturday saw the return of the Dan Hickey U14 tournament with Cappawhite, Newport and Scariff Ogonnelloe all traveling in to take part. In what was a hugely entertaining afternoon of hurling our lads came out on top with 3 exceptional performances. Gráinne Hickey was in attendance to present the Dan Hickey trophy to the Na Piarsaigh captain Michael O’Connor.
