Club Notes - 21st July
County
Leagues
The county leagues
continued last week with the final round of the football. The Seniors recorded
a 1-point victory over Gaultier on Friday last (0-13 to 1-09), whilst the Intermediate
team were beaten by Rathgormack (0-11 to 3-08).
The final games in
the hurling league section will take place on Tuesday 20th July (Division
1 away to Tallow) and Wednesday 21st July (Division 5 away to Ballydurn).
Intercounty
Both the Waterford
U-20 teams were out of luck last week as the hurlers were beaten by Tipperary
on Monday and the footballers beaten by Tipperary also. Hard luck to all
involved.
There was better
news from Nowlan Park on Saturday where the Senior hurlers overcame Laois in
sweltering conditions in their All-Ireland Qualifier. Next up is Galway in
Thurles at 14.00 on Saturday. Hopefully, we see another good performance to see
us progress and we wish the team and mentors the very best of luck and in
particular our own lads Conor, Neil and Michael.
