Ballyhass bonding kept Duhallow in touch amid busy club schedules

The packed club schedule of late July, all of August, and early September didn’t leave very much room for Duhallow pitch sessions. Monday’s in Ballyhass, though, was convenient and of benefit to the players, their clubs, and the division they are proud to represent.

Every Monday evening for the past two months, the Duhallow footballers have convened and recovered at the Ballyhass Lakes Adventure Centre.

It hasn’t been Duhallow games they’ve been recovering from. How could it be? The division has played only three times since the throw-in of the Cork championship proper on July’s final weekend.
