Graigue Ballycallan U12 boys competed in the Jim Comerford Conahy tournament over the last 2 weekends. They were drawn in a group of 4 and played games against Bennettsbridge, Blacks and Whites and O’Loughlin Gaels. The boys put together 3 outstanding performances on the morning and beat all 3 teams convincingly.
