Minor Hurling Championship

Drumcullen/Seir Kieran 0-10, Coolderry 1-12

This was an entertaining game played at Rath on Friday last. A wholehearted performance by the home team established a half-time lead of 0-9 to 0-5 and midway through the second half the lead held firm at 0-10 to 0-6. There followed a power failure which saw Coolderry take control following a well worked goal and they went on to dominate the remainder of the game. Despite this setback the team should look forward with confidence to the remainder of the championship and we wish them well.

Under 16 Hurling Championship

Seir Kieran/ Drumcullen 4-13; Cuchulainn Gaels 2-14

This game played in Clareen on Sunday evening in perfect conditions ebbed and flowed during an enjoyable first half before SKD took control and while the visitors responded bravely the result was never in doubt.

Golf Classic

Our annual golf classic will take place again this year at Birr golf club on 22nd July. Anyone interested in entering a team or offering sponsorship should contact Dermot Horan or Toni Ryan. This has proven to be a most enjoyable and well organised event and hopefully this year will be no different.

Well done to Offaly’s Under 21 hurlers on their victory in Carlow on Thursday last and we wish them well in the final against Dublin on 6th July in Tullamore. We also wish our senior hurlers the best of luck on their trip to Wexford on Saturday next. These teams are deserving of our support.

Lotto:

Numbers drawn Saturday 25th June were 3, 19, 20 & 21. There was no jackpot winner and Michelle Carroll c/o Rody Carroll was the sole match three winner of €150. Peter Lyons won the promoters prize. This week’s jackpot is €10,700 and your continued support is much appreciated.

Great Sport

Saturday last saw a feast of hurling and food as we welcomed Fenagh-Killmeedy from Limerick. We had visited them last Autumn and were royally received and we were keen to make their return visit a memorable one. We had three games at U8, 10 & 12 all ably refereed by Kieran Dooley whose attendance we appreciate. Following the games there was a barbecue for more than two-hundred hungry souls and we are most grateful to those who supplied, prepared and distributed food on the day. The weather also co-operated fully and a great day was had by all.

Div. 1 Hurling League

Kinnitty 2-22   Drumcullen 1-13

A half-time score of 1-9 to 0-12 gave no indication of the one-sided nature of the remainder. Two early goals by the visitors opened up a gap which would grow ever wider as the second half progressed. The opening stages were evenly contested and a smashing goal by Colm Gath with points from five players had us looking forward to a close game to the end. In perfect conditions there was an alarming collapse as we were outscored by 2-10 to 0-4.

Team: S.Ryan, P. Cashin, D. Guinan, N. O’Leary (0-1), K. Fleury, Conor Gath(0-4), H. Ryan, D. Maher, J. Troy, Colm Gath(1-5), S. Molloy, J. McCarthy, J. Kelly, R. Gath(0-2), M. Kennedy(0-1). Ref: Noel Flynn
