Historic night for Fethard Ladies Football Club. 

The clubs first Home match in the Senior Championship was held last night July 24th in the Barrack field. The club hosted the Brian Borus Ladies at 7.30 and provided the crowd with a great display of football. There was no lull at half time either as the Fethard u-6, u-8 and u-10's took to the field entertaining the large crowd of fans that attended to support their Fethard Ladies. After another high scoring game the final whistle score was Fethard 4-8 to Brian Borus 6-13.
