  • Minor hurling semi final

    The minor hurlers played in the division 5 county semi final on saturday in St Patricks Park at 11.30 against Duffry Rovers

    On probably the wettest morning of the year the minor hurlers lost out to the Duffry by 2-11 to 0-04. After making a bad start the lads responded well with some decent hurling at times but amid torrential downpours our lads found it difficult to get the scores needed to claw back the Duffry’s commanding lead. The half time score was 1-09 to 0-04. The Duffry found it difiicult to score in the second half and we didnt score at all which mean the the Duffry ran out comfortable and deserving winners on the above scoreline.

    Team: Adam Dunne, Jamie O Brien, Padraig McCarthy, Ryan Breen, Graham O Reilly, Ben Doyle, James Walshe, Garry Ennett, Robbie Donnelly, Camen O Brien, Conor Doyle, Padraig Flynn, Mark Gahan. Subs: Peter Breen, Cathal Walsh, Shane Gahan, Cian Allen, Diarmaid Fenlon, William Murphy.

  • Intermediate league final

    The intermediate hurlers played the Division 3 league final on Sunday at 11.30am in Oylegate against Crossabeg-Ballymurn and lost out by 2-16 to 1-09

    Playing with the wind in the first half our lads had a terrible start with Ballymurn taking a commanding lead but due to indiscipline by the Ballymurn backs, frees from Peter Mernagh and a well taken goal by Niall O Loughlin, along with points from Damien Fenlon and Shane Kehoe meant that we went in at half time only a point behind 1-09 to 1-08. In a similar fashion to the county final and other games this year we completely fell asunder in the second half scoring only one point, which was a free. and despite some determined defending by Stephen Murphy we were comprehensively beaten

    Team: Sean Murphy, Liam Gahan, Stephen Murphy, Graham O Reilly, Niall O Reilly, Paddy Breen, Mick Sweeney, Damien Fenlon, Laurence Murphy, Shane Kehoe, Conall Nolan, Matthew Dunne, Peter Mernagh, Niall O Loughlin, Bertie Gahan. Subs: Mark Gahan for Damien Fenlon, James Gahan for Conall Nolan, Chris Daly for Mick Sweeney, Aidan Gahan for Laurence Murphy and John O Loughlin for Niall O Loughlin

    Scores: Peter Mernagh 0-07 frees, Niall O Loughlin 1-00, Shane Kehoe 0-01, Damien Fenlon 0-01

  • County Final v Shamrocks

    The intermediate hurlers lost out in the county final by 5 points on Saturday to remain in Intermediate ‘a’ hurling for 2014. After making a decent start with a well worked goal finished by Bertie Gahan, along with points from Gahan, Peter Mernagh and Niall O Loughlin we went in at half time 1-03 to 0-07 behind despite playing against a strong wind. Strong in defence in particular were Graham O Reilly and Paddy Breen, with Bob Jacob excelling for the Shamrocks.

    There was a confident mood at half time when we considered the wind that was behind us in the second half, but we never hurled well enough in the second period to make the necessary come back. We had some late chances with two shots saved onto the crossbar and another effort by Niall O Loughlin which went just over the bar, but although we had those chances our second half performance didn’t really strike of a team deserving to win the final with the final score being Shamrocks 0-15 to Monageer Boolavogue 1-07. All roads lead to next year now with 2013 definately being a step in the right direction and a good foundation on which to build on.

    Team was:

    Sean Murphy, Liam Gahan, Stephen Murphy, Graham O Reilly, Niall O Reilly, Paddy Breen, Mick Sweeney, Damien Fenlon, Mark Walsh, Colm O Loughlin, Matthew Dunne, Shane Kehoe, Peter Mernagh, Niall O Loughlin, Bertie Gahan. Subs: Padraig Flynn for Mark Walsh, Conall Nolan for Damien Fenlon, James Gahan for Bertie Gahan, Paul Gahan for Mick Sweeney, Tommy Breen for Colm O Loughlin

    Scores: Bertie Gahan 1-02, Peter Mernagh 0-02, Niall O Loughlin 0-02, Sean Murphy 0-01

  • Intermediate ‘A’ county final 5th of October

    On the 5th of October 1980 Monageer Boolavogue defeated Glynn Barntown in the Intermediate Hurling final, to become a senior club for the first time. On the 33rd anniversary of this great win, the Intermediate ‘A’ hurlers face the Shamrocks in the county final for a place in Intermediate hurling 2014. Our manager this year Jimmy Gahan was a key player on that 1980 team.

    The match takes place on Saturday at 5pm in Wexford Park. We have already played the Shamrocks this year and lost by two points. We have played the Shamrocks four times in the last four years in championship hurling with the current score being two wins each so todays match will see one team take the lead in this stat but more importantly will see the winners moving up a grade for next year.

  • Semi Final replay v Clongeen

    The replay of the semi final took place in Ballymurn on Saturday with our lads coming out on top on a scoreline of 2-18 to 2-10. We started the game in similar fashion to that of the drawn game in taking a lead of 0-12 to 0-03 after twenty five minutes thanks to scores from Matthew Dunne, Bertie Gahan in particular with Peter Mernagh landing four frees but the mid game collapse which we had in the drawn game only amounted to the concession of the last three points of the first half to leave the half time score 0-12 to 0-06. we started the second half much better than the previous day and a goal by Niall O Loughlin helped us into a 1-12 to 0-08 lead. Despite conceding a soft goal directly from a line ball we reacted well and kept a decent lead until a lucky break saw Peter Mernagh land our second goal to leave the outcome in no doubt. Again we conceded another soft goal towards the end but at that stage the match was well won. We now play the Shamrocks in the county final next Saturday at 5pm in Wexford Park so please come along and support the lads on the big day.

    Team: Sean Murphy, Liam Gahan, Stephen Murphy, Graham O Reilly, Niall O Reilly, Paddy Breen, Mick Sweeney, Damien Fenlon, Mark Walsh, Colm O Loughlin, Matthew dunne, Shane Kehoe, Peter Mernagh, Niall O Loughlin, Bertie Gahan
