GAA NOTES

Best of luck to Darren Byrne and the Wexford under-21 team tomorrow evening in the Leinster Hurling Final in Portlaoise against Galway.

Fixtures for the week: Thursday: The under-15 hurlers play Askamore in Ballyroebuck at 7.30 p.m. Friday is a mouth watering cash against regular Junior B rivals St Martin’s in Piercestown at 7.30 p.m. On Monday its the return of the minor hurling championship when we play against Rathgarogue-Cushinstown at 7.30 p.m. in Cushinstown.

A massive thank you to our local farmers who watered the pitch last week in the heatwave that seems to have gone on for a long time, temperatures reaching. nearly 30 degrees some days.

Hard luck to Tomas Murphy, Patrick O’Connor and Feidhlim Roche, who played with the Wexford minor hurling team who lost out to Dublin in the Leinster semi-final.

Well done to all the people who took part in 5k/10k run in Blackwater recently. Brian Swaby was the winner of the 10k.

The minor footballers enjoyed a six point victory over Glynn-Barntown in the championship recently which keep then in second place. Shane Lynch with two of the goals along with Patrick O’Connor.

The Junior B hurlers had a walkover against Liam Mellows which has left them top of the group and into a league semi-final against Rathgarogue-Cushinstown.
