Re: Div 3 South predictions & general comment

Disappointed with the showing but at least they got to the Final and an outing in Croker=

Younger lads have a lot to learn and a lot of growing up into bigger stronger men to do===

Will take another 3 years...... I just hope to be still around and able to get to games them========
