Stradbally hoping to extend 66 year run playing senior football

Stradbally hoping to extend 66 year run playing senior football

The final team to play senior football next season will be confirmed on Saturday with Stradbally and Roanmore set to meet for the promotion/relegation final.

Roanmore beat Rathgormack in the Premier Intermediate final last weekend - 3.08 to 1.05 - with the Nolan brothers Eddie and Shane as well as Shane Mackey raising the green flags.

Stradbally - the joint record holders with 19 titles in all (tied with Dungarvan), find themselves in a precarious spot.

The club have not been relegated from the senior ranks since 1957, meaning they have been eating at the top table for 66 years and now find themselves with one hour to preserve their long-standing tenure.
