Latest News  

  • The 1st XV are at home this Sunday (7th March) against Corca Dhuibhne at 2:30pm. This is an important game as the lads are just four points behind Presentation who occupy the all important second place playoff place. With just four games remaining, the lads need all the support they can get so please come on down and cheer on the boys to victory.

     

     

  • Things are certainly beginning to heat up in the race for second place in Section A of Division 3 with no less than four teams all in a firm position to overtake one another. After having beating Killarney on Sunday last (28th Feb), Presentation now occupy the second place berth, opening up a two point gap over Killarney and a four point gap over Abbeyfeale, who have remarkably clawed their way back into contention after some impressive results in their last few league games. With just four league games remaining, it’s anybody’s for the taken and to make things even more mouth watering, all four teams are in action against eachother this weekend with Killarney facing another tough battle against Presentation in Killarney, while Abbeyfeale are at home to Corca Dhuibhne at the Grove Grounds. A draw in the Killarney-Pres game would be ideal for Abbey, if they themselves overcome Corca Dhuibhne, not an easy task indeed. Abbeyfeale face a difficult run-in to the end of season, with two games against Corca Dhuibhne (home and away), a home tie against Killarney and an away trip to Scariff, all facing them. However, confidence is high after their two recent wins and with two homes still left to play, they should be in a position to mount a stern challenge.

  • The club would also like to offer its congratulations to Shauna Cahill of Knocknasna and Bridgit Cahill of Mountcollins who have been selected to be part of the Munster Ladies U19 panel. This is a tremendous achievement by the girls and their hard work and commitment over the course of the year has paid off. We wish them both the very best of luck. Congrats girls

  •  With a host of teams giving a walkover in the Second Round of the Munster Junior Plate, Abbeyfeale were no different and gave Carrick-on-Suir a walkover. Our attentions revert back to the League this weekend, where we play Killorglin away from home. This is a going to be tricky game for the lads as Killorglin are on a bit of a winning run in the league, winning their last 2 league games. With the lads being nine points between Killarney, who occupy the second playoff spot, and having six games to play, a win is vital to keep them in the hunt. Kick off in Killorglin is at 2:30 p.m. and we greatly appreciate your support for the lads.

MJL-Presentation Vs. Abbeyfeale R3

Presentation 0-8 Abbeyfeale

 

After being totally outplayed and dominated by Killarney in their previous league match, Abbeyfeale knew that they had a mountain to climb when they travelled to Rathuard in Limerick, to face league leaders Presentation on Sunday last (8th of Nov). Abbey buoyed by the return from a finger injury of Kiernan Collins as well as the introduction of youth team players Eoin McEnery and Gerard Walsh, proved pivotal in helping Abbey claim a crucial and morale boosting victory over sterner opposition. Presentation started the match in a much brighter fashion than Abbey, in what is becoming a far too familiar habit for the 1st team. A succession of awarded penalties afforded Presentation with an opp ....... Read More
