Senior League Defeat...

We opened our 2017 RED FM County Senior Hurling League campaign on Sunday last. County finalists Erins Own were the visitors and proved too strong for our side. We were 0 11 to 0 5 in arrears at half time. Despite being reduced to 14 men in the second half Erins won well by 1 17 to  0 11. It was a disappointing start and with our opening championship tie v Glen Rovers only 7 weeks away a lot of hurling will be done yet.

Team and scorers;  D Fitzgerald, B Murphy, S Walsh, M Liddane, F Collins, D Carr, T O Sullivan, B Johnson (0-6), R Prendergast (0-1), M Collins (0-1), C O Connor, DJ Cahill (0-1), S Glasgow, D Dooley (0-2), W Finnegan.

Under 13 Football League v Bantry Blues in Rathcormac Sunday March 12th.We played against a very strong wind in the first half and our lads worked really hard to be just 1pt behind at half time.

Scorers; Adam Walsh 2 5, Josh Ahern 1 0, Denis Cashman ! 0, Ryan O  Callaghan 0 1. The next under 13 game is on March 25th away to Inniscarra at 2pm.
