Minor Hurling
Pride and place this
week goes to our minor hurling team who on Friday night last captured their
second Minor ‘B’ Hurling title in a row. Played before a large attendance at
Carriganore on Friday night last our lads showed true grit and determination to
see off an excellent and well prepared Clan na Gael side. The match was played
under the lights on a good night for hurling and our lads played some lovely
hurling in the first half to lead at the break by four points. On the
resumption however it was the team from the east that dictated affairs and two
early goals put them in the lead with 15 minutes remaining. However our boys
dug deep in this crucial period of the game and were rewarded with a goal
struck off the hurley of Eoin Kiely. The game ebbed and flowed till its
conclusion with our boys lucky to hold on at the end by two points. Great
scenes of jubilation were evident at the end of the game when team captain Conor
Prunty raised the trophy aloft. While the game was very close throughout this
was a deserved victory for this very dedicated group of young men. They have
now added the Minor B Hurling trophy to the A Football title that they won
earlier in the year. It is a great achievement indeed. A big thank you must go
to all the players and mentors involved in this victory. We would like to also
thank all the supporters who travelled on the night. It was fantastic to see so
many familiar faces out in force for this important game. Hopefully it will be
onwards and upwards for this group of players in the near future. Also thanks
must go to Pat O Brien for supplying light refreshments after the game. Thank you
to all.
