U15B Hurling Semi-final

Our U15 hurlers had a superb win over Na Fianna on Sunday morning in Moystown winning by 3-12 to 1 -6. This was a fantastic team effort with players excelling all over the field in the second half to pull away over the closing quarter. Brian Pardy and Cathal Bergin were in scoring form in the forwards while Conor Ryan, Patrick Carroll and Conor Lyons we’re solid in Defence throughout. Some of the u13 players showed great skill in overcoming bigger stronger opposition. Best of luck to the lads this Sunday morning in the Final v Coolderry in Kinnitty. Team Killian Spain, Conor Lyons, Riain Carroll, John Troy, Conor Ryan, Patrick Carroll, Jack Mooney, Stephen Gilligan, Fiacra Dooley, Dara Boyd, Gearoid Dooley, Brian Pardy, Oisin Guinan, Cathal Bergin, Dylan Hollywood.

Club Notes -30th September 2019

U13 Shield ‘A’ Final

Drumcullen / Seir Kieran 3-9

Clara 0-5

The final score line scarcely reflects how keenly this game was contested throughout. While DSK finished strongly it was the good start which gave a foothold for the remainder of the game. A goal and point each from D. Hollywood and P. Lyons saw us lead at the break by 2-2 to 0-2. Clara were left to rue so many wides in each half which could have made for a different result. Played on a perfect surface in the Faithful Fields on Sunday morning, the game was entertaining from start to finish with many outstanding performances. Defences were mainly on top and DSK were well marshalled at the back by J. Troy and J. Ryan in the spine, ably assisted by the excellent K. Carey and J. Hennessy while K. Morris and G. Dooley gave little away. At midfield, M. Og Ryan and S. Carey worked tirelessly. While D. Hollywood was the stand-out attacker, it must be said that  E. O’Neill was a constant thorn in the Clara defence and his 2pt second half contribution was hugely important. Moving P. Lyons to midfield later in the second half was  a shrewd move and R. Hollywood and Kyle and Jake Dooner always occupied their opponents.

A gap of 5 points was maintained for most of the second half, thanks mainly to the excellence of K. Spain in goals and  until a Kyle Dooner goal opened a comfortable gap and when DSK’s best performer pound for pound, K. Carey advanced to put his name on the scoring, there was only one result from there on.

Joint captains, Jack Ryan and Eanna O’Neill were presented with the winner’s trophy and the squad were entertained  later at the clubhouse. Congratulations to players and management on a great year of entertainment. In addition to this win they have also won the Offaly ‘B’ league and the Leinster Div 3 league. Well done to all and to the huge number who have given such support throughout the season. Team: K. Spain, K. Morris, J. Troy, G. Dooley, K. Carey,(0-1), J. Ryan, J. Hennessy, M. Og Ryan, S. Carey,  D. Hollywood(1-5),  E. O’Neill(0-2), K. Dooner(1-0), R. Hollywood, P. Lyons(1-1), J. Dooner.Subs: C. Mannion, R. O’Neill,J. Dooley, P. Ryan. Also: O. Darcy, J.Foley, A. Carroll, C.

Senior ‘B’ Hurling Championship Qtr Final

Carrig & Riverstown 4-12

Drumcullen 1-13

A late goal was no consolation as we suffered a heavy defeat in a most disappointing performance. Nothing went right on the day although there was no lack of preparation and commitment.  We appreciate the efforts  of players and management during the year. (See report elsewhere)

Underage results.

It was a mixed bag during the week when the Seir Kieran/Drumcullen Minor Hurlers lost heavily to Kilcormac/Killoughey by 7.15 to 2-9 having trailed  2-7 to 2-6 at the break. They now enter the shield competition. Drumcullen/Seir Kieran U13’s had a great win in the Shield semi-final when defeating CRC Gaels by 6-14 to 4-8 and now go on to the final in the Faithful Fields on Sunday morning at 12.15. Our U15’s went down 2-20 to 1-5 to a very strong Ferbane /Belmont team in the preliminary quarter and now enter the shield semi-final.

Craughwell U12 Tournament

Drumcullen’s U12’s travelled to Galway on Sunday morning and having defeated the hosts, James Cusacks  and Oranmore/Maree they conceded defeat to a very good and huge (size wise) Ballinasloe team By 1-8 to 0-5. in the final. Fatigue may have been a factor as they entertained Roscrea on Saturday in which Kieran Coughlan sustained a broken finger. We wish him a speedy recovery.

Lotto:

Numbers drawn Saturday 21st September were 6, 13, 17 & 24. There was no jackpot winner and Killian & Eoin c/o Gavin Nugent and

Junior ‘B’ Hurling Semi-Final

Drumcullen 1-11

Kilcormac/Killoughey 1-18.

A promising opening half which had us leading at the break 1-7 to 0-8 gave way to a collapse thereafter only adding four to our tally. It was ominous that we were depending greatly on Joe Troy’s accuracy with minimal assistance up front apart from the efforts of Mark Kennedy and Niall O’Leary. Leading by four after 40 minutes we seemed to retreat in defence and handed the initiative to KK who were physically stronger in the heavy conditions. Alan Mannion could not be faulted in goals while Joe Kelly was outstanding at full back with excellent support from Aaron Moran, Mark Hennessy and John Brophy. Cathal Dooley tried hard throughout at midfield but the desired result was not to be. This was a game that could have been won but we had to concede to the better team on the day. We are appreciative of the efforts of management and players during the year and while things did not go well on the day they are capable of better days and should look forward positively to 2020. Team: A. Mannion, A. Moran, J. Kelly, M. Hennessy, L. Kelly, W. Spain, J. Brophy,  P. Spain, C. Dooley, J. Troy (1-8), D.Troy, D. Spain, N.O’Leary (0-1), C. Guilfoyle, M. Kennedy (0-2), Subs: Tadhg O’Brien.

Thanks to all the players & Management of the six teams that took part in the 1st Drumcullen U12 Tournament.

Thanks to our referees for all their help and time they gave in all the matches over July, August & September. Thanks to Michael Cleary Offaly GDA who presented the medals after each final. The big winner here was Offaly hurling with lots of talent for future development squads on show.

Well done to all the clubs who played these games in the spirit it was set up for -which was to develop hurling skills In the kids.
