Junior A League Final 2002

Cloughduv played Aghbullogue in the 2002 League Final in October. Cloughduv played very well and ran out easy winners to complete a League/Championship double.
Junior B League Final 2002
Cloughduv also qualified for the B League Final. This game was played in Cloughduv at the end of last year. Ballincollig provided the opposition, but were no match for Cloughduv. Cloughduv ran out easy winners and captured the League Title for the 1st time.

St. Stephen's Day-Long Puck

On St. Stephen's Day Cloughduv held a long puck competition. This took place from Cloughduv to Aherla. Teams comprised of a Retired player, a Present player and a Juvenile. Object of the excise was to get from Cloughduv to Aherla in the least amount of shots. This event was an outstanding success, everybody had a great time and are already looking forward to next year. The winning team was made up of Ted O'Mahony, Tomas Twomey and Sean Murray.
