1950

The club reverted to Junior status in 1950. However the Championship came to a quick conclusion when Cappagh defeated Greencastle in a replay of the first round of the Championship by 0-19 to 0-02. A highlight of the year was a very successful Sports Day run by the club on 24th September in spite of bad weather. Incidentally Sports Day run by the club have often coincided with bad weather.
