THE Beara senior football team has pulled out of this year’s county championship.

They were meant to take on Avondhu this Thursday night, June 8th, in the opening round of the divisions/colleges section, but Beara informed the board recently that they are unable to field a team.

It’s a disappointing development for Beara, but a combination of injuries, players away or working and clubs currently involved in their own county championships worked against the western division.

‘Lads are getting games with their clubs this year and the player interest is also there, and we just have to find a way together to move forward,’ Beara GAA Chairman Michael Murphy told The Southern Star.
