The weather stayed dry for the match, although a cold heavy wind swept across Claughan G.A.A. grounds which made it a tough game for the young players, who still played to the best of their ability in what was a close, tough game that was played in great spirits and good fun.
Honouring Aaron Memorial Match 2016 was a well attended game, supporters were treated to coffee and biscuits at half-time and the winning team on the day was presented with a trophy.
