Firsts All roads travelled to Carrowholley and the vital clash with Westport on Sunday. In what was a tight exciting game with little asked or given, and with Paul Coady kicking two excellent penalties, we had to give second best to the Bulls on the day. This was a disappointing loss but nothing should be taken from how well the lads played and this season is far from over. The final score was 10-6.
