June 8th, 2017

Poc Fada 2017 was held in Naas Racecourse last night, and despite the inclement weather early in the evening the event was very well supported. A huge thank you to all of the volunteers who went round the course as score keepers and spotters! Once again there were over 30 participants across the four categories. Congratulations to all of the winners. There will be a special presentation for the Under 16 Boys and Senior Men at half time during the Senior Hurling Final in October.
