United front works a treat for Ahán Gaels

In 2008, a lack of resources brought the underage players of St Mary’s and Diarmuid Ó Mathúnas together under the Ahán Gaels banner.

Both hailing from the parish of Enniskeane, they once operated together at adult level — and may do so again in the near future — and the amalgamated juvenile setup has proven a tremendous success.

This year’s minors have only ever played for Ahán Gaels and that cohesion came to the fore as the county MAHC title was claimed with victory over Courcey Rovers.
