The Men’s team also performed brilliantly and finished in 5th place on 85 pts, just 9 points behind 3rd place team Co. Tipperary on 94 pts, with Co. Kildare 2nd on 95 pts and Co. Galway victorious on 111 pts.
The men’s team no doubt disappointed are getting stronger each year. Maybe 2025 will be their year to claim a podium place.
