Our U.16 hurlers enjoyed a big win over Glenealy, Wicklow, last night (Wed), in the semi-final of the Leinster League. The match was played before a disappointingly small crowd, on a very windy evening in Monageer.
Playing against the near gale force wind in the first half our lads settled quickly and, with the help of two goals from Peter Breen and one each from Diarmuid Fenlon and Cian Allen, built up a comfortable half-time lead.
We continued to dominate in the second half and a further goal from James Walsh and a number of fine points from Sean Roche, who starred throughout, crowned a big win.

Our Junior hurlers travelled to a windswept Our Ladys Island in div 4 of the ACL on Sunday evening and despite being short several regulars and fielding a few debutants at this level put in a spirited effort in difficult conditions. Playing with a gale in our backs in the first half we started slowly and conceded two early goals but battled back to trail by a point at halftime 2-3 to 0-8. Facing the elements in the second half our lads battled manfully and were unlucky not to be closer in the end after a decent second half with good displays from Sean Doran, Sean McCabe, Graeme O’Reilly, James Gahan, Paddy Breen and Larry Murphy Team; Morgan Gahan, Sean Doran, Daire Turner, Declan Kelly, Graeme O’Reilly, Paddy Breen, Paul Gahan, Liam Gahan(0-1), Sean McCabe, Ed Rowesome(0-7frees), David Breen(0-2), Larry Murphy, James Gahan(0-2), John Ivory, James Sweeney.

Our intermediate hurlers picked up a vital brace of points in their Division 3 hurling league outing against a lively Clongeen which was played under lights in Castleboro on friday last. After an impressive first half display we led at half time by 3-4 to 0-6, with Niall O’Loughlin with two and James Sweeney grabbing the goals. Clongeen took a firm grip on proceedings in the second half and we were hanging on a bit at the end, despite another two goals finished by O’Loughlin. Niall O’Reilly was unbeatable at wing back on the night, with team captain Steven Murphy not far
behind.
