WINNING RUN CONTINUES
Both our intermediate and junior hurlers continued their winning runs with high scoring league wins over Carrigaline and Kildorrery respectively in the past week. Both teams lined out without a number of regulars but still put in impressive displays to secure the league points on offer.
Kilworth 3-18 Carrigaline 1-19
Our intermediate hurlers made it six wins from seven games played in the penultimate round of the Red FM Division 2 hurling league played in Kilworth last Sunday afternoon. In doing so they have now progressed to the semi-final of the competition, which will provide another good game in preparation for championship which commences in late July.
Kilworth started well and led 2-2 to 0-3 after ten minutes, Noel McNamara and Jeremy Saich raising the green flags. We had a three-point advantage 2-7 to 0-10 at the interval. Our lead was extended to eight points 3-10 to 0-11 by the 40th minute with Eoin Carey finding the net. Carrigaline went on to have a spell of dominance to reduce their arrears to two points 3-13 to 1-17 with three minutes remaining on the clock. Kilworth upped it once more to finish strongly with points from Eoin Carey, Noel McNamara and Mikey Gowen opening a five-point advantage a minute into added time. Both teams raised two while flags each in the remaining injury time to see Kilworth prevail 3-18 to 1-19.
Our final group game against Watergrasshill is due to be played on the weekend of July 2nd/3rd.

Kilworth 2-19 Kildorrery 1-17
Our junior hurlers had five points to spare over Kildorrery in the Cavanagh’s of Fermoy Division 2 Hurling League game played in Kildorrery on Wednesday night, June 15th. We led for most of the game bar when Kildorrery hit the net just before the short whistle to tie the game up 0-10 to 1-7. A point up ten minutes into the second half, two goals in a three-minute spell from Sean Beecher and Ciaran Gowen proved decisive as the lads led 2-13 to 1-9. Kildorrery outscored us 0-8 to 0-6 for the remainder of the game but the lads maintained a five-point cushion at the full-time whistle.
Up next for the team are games at home to Mallow (Sunday, June 26th) and Araglin (Wednesday, June 29th).
