Drumcullen club notes

Club notes -26th August 2019

Results

The past week was a mixed bag with the Drumcullen/Seir Kieran U15’s losing heavily to Clara in a play-off while missing some players who might have made a difference.

The Minor Hurlers of Seir Kieran/Drumcullen lost narrowly to Clara by 1-20 to 4-8, the teams retiring level at the break, 2-5 to 0-11. SKD started the second half brightly with two early points on the resumption but Clara dominated thereafter and but for two goals by Luke Carey and a fine display by John Coughlan the margin might have been greater. Nevertheless they have won two of their three round robin games which put them in a good position.

In the Junior ‘B’ Championship we were given a walk-over by Tullamore who were unable to field a full team while our Seniors had a useful 5-14 to 1-14 victory over Kilcormac/Killoughey in Banagher on Saturday. Goals by John Murray, Mark Kennedy, Padraic Cashin, Conor Gath x2, proving the difference between the teams.

 

Speedy recovery.

We wish Padraig Guinan a speedy recover from his injury he received in the previous round of the championship.
