Our minor hurlers went down to Rathnure on Thursday evening in Rathnure. Our lads battled well and at half time scores were level at 3-6 each. Rathnure’s strength told in the second half and a flurry of late goals (3 in the 5 minutes) flattered them as they ran out winners on a score of 9-15 to 6-9. Full foward Podge Flynn banged home 5-3 in what was a goalfest of a match.
