Junior hurlers exit the Duhallow championship

THE Kanturk Junior hurlers made their exit from the Duhallow JAHC in Round 3 after failing to a strong Millstreet side at Castlemagner on Friday last, 14th July.

In fairness to the Kanturk side, there was little to choose between the sides at the interval with the minimum between the sides, Kanturk 0-6 Millstreet 0-7.

By the midway stage of the second half Millstreet were ahead by five points and, as the Kanturk lads ran out of steam, they went down to a fine Millstreet side on a 1-09 to 2-16 scoreline.

JUVENILE AFFAIRS:

Wolfe Tones (Kanturk) annexed the North Region Rebel Og U14 AF League when defeating Kilshannig on Monday night, 17th July at Banteer on a 5-13 to 3-09 scoreline.

All in Kanturk GAA were delighted that Darren Browne was chosen to captain the Cork U21 hurlers for 2017.

Cork came from behind to defeat Waterford in the semi-final away to their opponents on Thursday last and now Cork face Limerick in the Munster Final on Wednesday, 26th July at 7.30pm. The Cork Intermediate hurlers are in action in the All Ireland final on Sunday, 23rd July in the new Pairc Ui Chaoimh with a 2pm start. Cork face Kilkenny in the final and Liam O’Keeffe and Lorcan O’Neill may be involved.
