Intermediate hurlers win important League victory

Kanturk hurlers recorded a home victory in the County Division 2 Hurling league tie with Kildorrery on Sunday last June 11 on a 3-12 to 0-08 score line.

It was an important victory for Kanturk as they bid to copper-fasten their Division 2 league status, and maybe push for promotion as the season progresses.

Junior B Leagues: Kanturk take to the field in three Junior B league ties over the coming week.

On this past Wednesday June 14, Kanturk were playing host to Kilbrin in the Singleton Cup Junior B hurling and face Millstreet at Kanturk on Saturday 17 June in the Nevin Cup Junior B football at 7pm followed by another Nevin Cup game away to Kiskeam on Thursday June 22 at 8pm.

Inter county: With Cork Senior footballers’ dramatic late victory over Tipperary on Saturday last, Kanturk’s round two county championship ties in both hurling and football have been deferred to July 15 at the earliest.

The chances of one of the ties going ahead on that date is dependent on results of more inter-county fixtures over the coming weeks.

Duhallow Senior footballers swing into county championship action on this Saturday June 17 with a round 2A tie against Seandun. Victory for Duhallow will give them the direct route to round 4 of the championship.

Best wishes to team manager, Padraig Kearns and the Kanturk players involved.
