The Kane family travelled to Tyrone venues over the weekend to take part in The Wallball Nationals. Daniel Kane competed well in 15 and under boys and reached the quarterfinals of the cup competition beating off some stiff opponents before falling to Galway’s Learai O Gradaigh. Abbie played in 13 and under and reached the semi final of the plate competition where she was unfortunate to meet her sister Sophie ,not the first time this year that the sisters had to face off at a major tournament at semifinal stage. Congratulations to both Katie and Sophie Kane who both won the plate competition in their respective age group’s, bringing home yet another national title each. A very successful weekend.
