A great competition took place in underage grades with boys and girls between the ages of 8 and 15 getting the Poc Fada off to a superb start alongside their nimble spotters following them on the mountain!
It was then the turn of the senior ladies and men to take to the mountain with rock hard conditions providing a favourable bounce to the competitors.
The senior men were of course competing for the Pearce Branagan Cup and reigning champion with John Murphy determined to retain his title but a large contingent of hurlers were hoping to add their name to the Cup.
In the U15 boys competition Lorcan Binks just edged out Ryan Tweedy while Eoghan Rooney secured the U12 hurling competition.
In the Senior Ladies competition, versatile former Down and Clonduff camog Karen Gribben pipped Ciara Murphy and can now claim to have mastered the forward line, the goal line and now mountain terrain!
Thanks to all involved in coordinating the event and to Tony and the Branagan family for presenting awards to all winners on the day.
