Faythe Harriers Weekly Notes 01-03-2010
Adult Championship Draws:
The draws for the 2010 adult championships were made during the past week. Our Senior team were drawn with Cloughbawn, Rathnure and Oylegate. This is a tough draw for the lads but we will be hoping to finish in the top 2 to qualify for the county quarterfinals. We defeated Cloughbawn in the championship last year but the Clonroche men went on to contest the county semi finals after that. Rathnure have a wonderful championship pedigree and are always hard to beat, while Oylegate have caused many problems over the past number of years for our Seniors. It is likely that the first games will take place in the middle or towards the end of May.
Our Junior team were also handed a tough draw and find themselves in a group with Buffers Alley, Horeswood and Ferns. Again we will be hoping to finish in the top 2 to qualify for the county semi finals.
