- Delighted with two wins and a draw for EK A .
- Well done to all players but especially Jack stepping up to this division for first time.
- EK B: Robbie McKenzie, Diarmid McCreadie, Ellis Keogh.
- Unfortunately no wins for EK B but great performances by all players.
Division 2
- EK C played two matches – one win and one draw.
- Great start for EK C, so well done all.
Division 3
- EK D: Ashton Haughey, Michael Egan and Bruce Roberts.
- Ashton missed out but delighted with EK D two wins and one loss for Michael and Bruce – they can only get better.
Not happy with league organisers.
We arrived expecting to have all teams in appropriate divisions as we had not been advised otherwise.
