Our Ennis side won against Rathmines 4-2, with wins for John, Tom, and Algamantas, and draws for Mick D., and Fergal

While the results were good, it is difficult to have two matches on the same night, making it harder if more substitutes were needed for either side. Perhaps this should be avoided if possible next season.
