CAMP UNITED

We are having a table quiz in O Neills, Railway Tavern, Camp on Friday the 8th of November starting at 9.00 pm. Local support on the night would be appreciated.  Spot Prizes for raffle will also be greatly appreciated and can be handed in to The Railway earlier on Friday if you cannot attend the quiz on the night.
On Sunday, we played Spa Road in the KDL in Tralee. In a very entertaining game which finished 3-3 despite being behind on 3 occasions we battled hard for a much deserved point. Goals were scored by James Scanlon, James Crean and Francis Herlihy popped up with the equaliser.  Its great to see Francis back after a long stint out with injury.  Well done to all involved.
