JAFC R2 – Kilworth 1-13 Glanworth 0-05On Wednesday June 13th our junior footballers made the short trip to Ballygiblin where they took on neighbours Glanworth in the second round of this year’s Junior ‘A’ Football Championship.

On Friday evening last, we were deeply saddened to hear of the untimely passing of the great John Joe Shanahan. John Joe was a club legend, a fantastic player and administrator but more importantly a true gentleman and a fantastic husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend to so many.
