Junior B Hurling
There was a little bit of history created last Sunday when our Junior B
hurlers became the first team from the club to be involved in an all ticket
game versus Dungarvan. Happily, the lads really rose to the occasion and those
lucky ticket holders were treated to a fine exhibition of hurling. It was a bit
of a surreal occasion as due to the ongoing Covid restrictions there were no
dressing rooms open, so it was back to the good old days of getting togged out
on the side of the pitch. The grounds were in excellent condition and were a
credit to our hosts and the weather conditions were ideal.
The game started at a hundred miles an hour and it was proper
championship fare. Our lads started well, competing for every ball and taking
some nice scores which gave us a nice lead. Unfortunately, we were hit with a
sucker punch of a goal which brought Dungarvan right back into the game. We regrouped
at half time however and put on an exhibition of free flowing hurling and score
taking in the second half to run out comfortable winners on a score line of 2-23
to 1-04 with Tony Collins and Richie Ryan raising the green flags and Colm
Kindergan kept the scoreboard operator busy with 18 points.
This was an overall excellent team performance with super displays all
over the pitch. We did pick up a few knocks and bruises but with our next game
not until August 07th there will hopefully be plenty of time for the
bodies to heal.
It was great to finally get the championship season up and running and
even better to get a good result and performance.
U-15 Hurling
The U-15 travelled to De La Salle on Friday evening last and came up
against a fine team. Unfortunately, defeat was our lot but we have a quick
opportunity to make amends when Brickey Rangers visit the club grounds on this
Wednesday at 7.00.
Deise Draw 2020
The revised Deise Draw will kick off on August 26th. Over the
coming weeks we will be making a big effort in this regard as it is one of our
primary fundraising streams. We’d appeal to all our member and supporters to
purchase a ticket from any committee member.
