Forget about a day like this, how about a week?

Dunboyne take care of business
St Peter’s, Dunboyne… 0-20 Curraha… 0-09 ‘The Who’ had one of their most famous hits with Taking Care Of Business and it would have been the perfect soundtrack as those who last lifted the Keegan Cup in 2018 got their quest for this year underway in Dunshaughlin on Friday evening.
