Well done to our under-13 hurlers who came away with a narrow victory in Ballymurn tonight. Two evenly matched teams played out a very exciting and competitive game. Our final goal by Patrick Kinsella ensured the victory.

Euan Pender had another outstanding game in goal and his long range frees are a joy to behold.,our backs Oisín, Robert, Jack, Harry, Patrick, Adam all played very well and made their opponents fight for every ball especially jack turner in second half who gave a man of the match display.

Niall and Alfie worked tirelessly in midfield and our forwards Charlie, Evan, Bobby, Seán, Matt, Raymond, Tomas and Leon created and executed some great scores and all worked hard for their team.

Thanks to Christopher, who we welcomed back after injury and to our under-11s Pierce, Henry, Gerard, Tadhg, Eoghan and Fionn, and finally thanks to Adam Oisín Niall and Evan, who travelled back from their Gaeltacht’s to help their teammates. Well done, lads – let’s keep it going.
