On Saturday 19th February Loughmore Castleiney GAA Juvenile Club hosted the 2021 delayed annual Sean Mockler Memorial Cup (U11) and as bonus the County Senior Football & Hurling Champions came along to support and showcase their 2021 silverware.
Played on the Club’s new Astro pitch facility, both teams gave a great display of skill. Congratulations to all players and thanks to referee, Dara Nolan. Thanks to Mrs. Rose Mockler, who along with her grandson, Fintan Purcell, presented the Cup to the winning team, and medals to all the players. Refreshments served in the clubhouse were greatly appreciated by everyone and County winning captains Willie Eviston and Noel McGrath were presented with a celebration cake from the Juvenile Club.
