Guess the Score – Thanks to all who participated in the ‘Guess the score’ competition in the Derry V Armagh match on Sunday 14th May. Unfortunately, no-one matched the correct score after full-time.

This will all go towards acquiring new kits for the football, netball and cross-country teams. Thanks once again.
