  • Monageer Boolavogue v Rapparees Junior b hurling

    The junior b hurlers lost their opening championship match this evening to a stronger Rapps side in terrible conditions in monageer.

    Monageer started bright with a great score from Pa Murphy and we went in at half time one point ahead but the Rapps were to strong in the second half and ran out comfortable winners by 4-08 to 1-04. Perhaps if we neet again the score might be different but the Rapps were too good on the day.

    We hope that the lads can improve from here and qualify for the district semi finals.

    Team to follow.

    The Junior Hurlers played Tara Rocks on Friday night in the second round of the championship and lost by 2-15 to 3-08. We possibly could have got more from the game as we conceded two soft goals and missed some chances of our own, but to be fair Tara Rocks were the better team and deserved their victory.

    The Intermediate hurlers played Davidstown in the second round of the championship and were comfortable winners by 2-16 to 0-11. The damage was done in the first half because we had a 6 point lead at half time, playing against a strong breeze, thanks to goals from Niall O Loughlin and David Breen. Despite winning by such a large margin we didn’t play particularly well but we now have two wins from two games and are top of our group.

Played in windy conditions we lead by 1-08 to 1-03 at half time thanks to some good scores by Mick Nolan and a goal by Patrick Walsh. The second half started well despite playing against a strong breeze but it was looking bad midway through the second half when St Martins got five points in a row to draw level but our lads showed great spirit, and with two points from Ed Rowsome and one from Damien and Laurence we pulled clear again and won by 6 points.

  • Weekend match reports for weekend of 25th of March

    The third hurling team were our first team to play this weekend and they won well against Marshalstown’s second team in Farmleigh on Saturday. The final score in this match was Monageer Boolavogue 4-14 to Marshalstown 1-12. We started well with three points from Morgan Rowsome but it was the first goal of the game from Walter Christopher which had everybody talking. A ball was played in towards the square from the right wing, when Walter made a terrific one handed over head pull to send the ball crashing into the net leaving the goal keeper helpless. Moments later we had a similar score from Micheal Somers, who made a one handed pull from a long ball sent in from midfield which ended up in the roof of the net. Barry Millar completed a great run of three goals in the space of a few minutes and by this stage we were looking very comfortable. The half time score was 3-09 to 0-06. Marshalstown fought back in the second half but our half time lead was too large for them to get closer than 10 points and we eventually ran out 11 point winners.

    Our first team played against Buffer’s Alley’s second team on Sunday and lost by 1-12 to 1-11. Our lads didn’t perform very well on the day but were still in with a shout right until the end, we probably deserved a draw because Buffer’s Alley’s last point went wide.

  • Hurling leagues start this weekend

    Hurling leagues start this weekend

    Big weekend ahead for our Junior hurling stars, the league kicks off with a double header in Cloughbawn on Saturday (the 17th, yes Paddy’s day !) at 3.30pm and 5.00pm. See the fixtures page on website for further details.

    The Intermediates are out too, up in Ballyfad (for their annual trip) on Monday 19th at 2pm.

    And to get you in the humour, here’s the famous “You know you are a Junior Hurler when…..” article

    • You spend all winter on the beer speculating on who will be brought in to manage the junior hurling team next year.
    • The hardest tackle you will make all year is in an indoor soccer match in January when you break your brother-in-law’s leg.
    • There are 35 at training under lights on a bitter February night (unfit but enthusiastic) – the average for August is 7 (unfit, sick of training and making silage)
    • The club treasurer spends some time at the AGM lamenting the yearly cost of running a club and especially the bill for hurleys; a month later, the team is being urged to “give ‘em timber lads – we have plenty of hurleys on the sideline…”
    • When you go for a pick-up, you tap the ball at least twice on the hurley before you fumble it
    • Ground hurling is for juveniles and camogie players
    • The full forward has his son and grandnephew in the corners
    • The grandnephew is two years older
    • For a 2.30 throw-in, you start packing your gear bag at 2.40 and still manage to be on the field before the referee even arrives
    • You can get a match called off because your star player is playing divisional under-16 the following week
    • Your tight marking corner back never gives an inch – except of course, when the ball gets inside his own 50 and he charges out after it with all the other backs, forgetting that the other team are even on the field.
    • Your goalie lets in a sitter every second game – this usually happens after you have scored 5 points from play to reel in a difficult half-time deficit or in the first minute if it is a final
    • Your full-forward can’t score but “he’s a good man to bust up the play”
    • Your centre forward can’t score either but “he’ll stop a good man from hurling”
    • Your championship is either a round robin that requires you to play six league games to eliminate one team, or a knockout starting in October
    • Any members of your panel that claim to have back injuries are either lazy or completely daft – unless you can see blood, bruises or bandages, they are making it up
    • Before every match, the forwards are told to stay wide and not bunch – but this is not what happens. The only time any forward goes wide is to take a sideline cut or if they are looking for water
    • Your backs play from behind waving a hurley with one hand whilst resting the other on the forward’s back – this is why all your scores and all their scores come from frees
    • You can’t field a team during the fortnight of the Leaving Cert
    • Your star player always has one other brother “that was even better but he couldn’t stay off the drink”
    • Your left-corner-back plays at No.4 because he can only strike off his left side Ditto No.7
    • The more people instruct you to “let fly if you don’t get it up the first time”, the more you ignore them.
  • Check out the (new) hurling wall !

    Check out the (new) hurling wall !

    Our hurling wall has got a dulux makeover and a new tarmac surface. The wall now has two goals with painted areas for target practice. Excellent to help with hurling and football skills. More images for the wall can be seen under our Gallery.

    Thanks to the local FAS guys for the paintwork and Conal Cooper for the tarmac job. Conal can be contacted on 087-2239050 if your looking to resurface any size area.

  • Adult teams back training

    Adult teams back training

    Our adult teams are all back training and numbers have been good to date. Every player hates this time of year training but this is where the hard work starts.

    We’d like to take this opportunity to wish all Managers/Selectors/Mentors and Players the very best for the coming year. Hopefully it will be a successful year all round 🙂

    For the less faint hearted, there’s always our Gym (check out our great rates on membership page) or Pilates (classes every Wednesday evening in complex).
