Anglo Printers Louth GAA JFC Final 2017
Thu Sep 21, 2017

The Anglo Printers Louth GAA Junior final takes place on Sunday following very exciting knockout stages along the way. We had a wee chat with the team captains of finalists Glyde Rangers and Glen Emmetts to find out what makes them tick! We heard that there is great excitement in Tallanstown and Tullyallen with both areas decked out in their respective Team colours. It is an honour to sponsor the Louth GAA Junior Championship and we would like to wish both teams the best of luck on the day. It promises to be a cracking match!
