Fifteen teams participated in the 20th running of the Connor McConville 7-a-side tournament in glorious sunshine in Clonduff Park on Tuesday 3rd June.
The young players provided a feast of Gaelic Football played to a very high standard. The day was further enhanced by the presence of Down players Mark Poland and Conor Laverty.
