Laune Rangers U12 Blue Team played on Tuesday evening in Cordal in the County League Division 3 final. The team have been training hard all year and have had some great games which stood to them against Knocknagoshel/Brosna. They met earlier in the year and Laune Rangers only just came away with the win in the last few minutes so Laune Rangers knew they were up against a strong team. The game got off to a tight start and after the first quarter Knock/Brosna were ahead by 1 point 1-1 to 0-3. Laune Rangers kept tipping away with some lovely points kicked by the players. It was a very exciting game and Knock/Brosna had some very strong players but Laune Rangers dug deep, keeping a lead throughout the second half. It was a great win by Laune Rangers team who were ecstatic.

Full Time Score:- Laune Rangers 0-13, Knock/Brosna 1-5
