Castlelyons GAA Notes week ended 2.12.19.
Castlelyons Players a big hit in Boston USA.Our own intermediate hurlers worked hard in preseason and while defeating Youghal. However, we exited the championship tamely as Inniscarra hit us hard in the second half to knock off our five points half time lead. They went on to lead us by three at the long whistle.

Aidan O Sullivan and Darragh Lawlor two of our stalwarts were in Boston,...
