Senior Hurling

On Saturday night last we played Lismore in Fraher Field in the quarter final the Championship. The game turned out to a thrilling encounter and was surely the best game in the Championship to date. After a great opening quarter there was little between the sides, but for the following 20 minutes or so it was Lismore who took over and with 15 minutes remaining they looked to be cruising to a comfortable win. However to our young team's credit they showed remarkable courage and no little skill to battle back into the game. With the game heading into injury time the sides were level and extra time looked a possibility only for Lismore to hit the winning point.

Whilst defeat was our lot on the day it was a heartening performance from our team especially given our difficulties in previous matches due to injuries etc. It was also great to see three young minors making their Senior Championship debuts on the night and we thank all the players and management team for their efforts and commitment during the year.

Senior Hurling

On Sunday afternoon last we played Ballyduff Upper in Fraher Field in round 5 of the Championship. This game really was a winner takes all encounter as the losing side would face the dreaded relegation play off game, while victory would see us progress to the quarter finals of the Championship. With so much at stake both teams seemed understandably nervous and it was our opponents who led at half time by a single point. Mid way through the second half Ballyduff extended their lead to 3 points, but the team showed great character to emerge victorious by scoring four points without reply and ensured we qualified for the knockout stages of the championship.  In the quarter finals we play Lismore this Saturday night at 7:30 pm in Fraher Field.

TEAM: S. ENRIGHT, B. LOOBY, S. O'HARE, D. McGRATH, M. POWER, C.PRUNTY, J. O'MAHONY, D. COLLINS, J. ELSTED, P. HURNEY, J. BERESFORD, J. HURNEY, S. DALY, M. FERNCOMBE, M. O'HALLORAN.
