Monivea-Abbey through to decider in swan song for stadium landmark

Thu, Nov 23, 2023

Monivea-Abbey won through to the Connacht Intermediate final after a hard fought 1-08 to 0-10 victory over Mayo champions Kilmeena in Tuam Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

Redevelopment on the old stand now has been delayed for a week to allow the intermediate Connacht final to be played.
