Ole, ole, ole!!

Well done Athenry and best of luck on Sunday. Athenry had to beat Hibs, Mervue and Salthill in the final three games to take the title and did so with style!! A fantastic achivement!!!

When was the last time a non-city club won the Premier??? When was the last time Mervue took such a hiding?
