Under 14 Feile Hurlers

Our under 14 hurlers bowed out of this years Feile na nGael competition when losing out by a single point to Garryspillane.

Played on Sunday morning in Mick Neville Park Rathkeale in beautiful sunshine we began extremely slowly and trailed to two early scores from the Bouncers.We slowly worked ourselves back into the game and reap the rewards of some hard work to raise a green flag courtesy of David O Byrne.
Despite playing against a strong wind, we were competing well and may have had more scores if the accuracy was a little better.
Just before half time we conceded a very soft goal which went all the way to the net from a longe range free.
We trailed at the break 1-3 to 1-0.
The second half was much improved as we piled on the pressure. John Leahy and Keith Dempsey were hurling very well along with Ralph Leonard and Eoin Sherlock.
Some long range scores from Sean Long brought the game to a single point but try as we might the equalising score just would not come.
In spite of the disappointment of losing we will no doubt learn from this defeat and be far more prepared come championship time.
Final score Garryspillane 1-6 Na Piarsaigh 1-5
Team: Barry Dunworth, Keith Dempsey, Mark Daly, John Leahy, Eoin Sherlock, Sean Long, Ralph Leonard, Emmet McEvoy, Liam Barry, David Ryan, Adam McNamara, Harry O Donnell, Mark Boylan, David O Byrne, James Daly. Subs used/: John Moloney


Junior Hurlers


Our junior hurlers travelled to Clarina on Saturday to take on Kildimo Pallaskenry in the City Intermediate final.

We began well with both corner forwards Dylan Cronin and Evan Egan seeing plenty of possession.

Our backs were under pressure early on and took a while to settle.Our opponents were showing their pedigree with some good scores but also profitted from some soft frees.

We raised our only green flag mid way through the half from the stick of Mike Brougham to trail 1-09 to 1-05 at the break.

Playing with the wind in the second half we took a foothold in the game and got some good scores from frees from midfield dynamo Pat Gleeson to lead going into the final quarter.

It was our opponents who finished the stronger to run out winners on a scoreline of 1-15 to 1-11.

Despite the disappointment the management have plenty to work on.

We had good showing from Brian Hartnett at center back whilst Pat Gleeson at midfield ran himself to a standstill.
Team: Evan Condon, Mark Buckley, Paul McNamara, Kevin McNamara, David Lynch, Brian Hartnett, Ciaran Keogh, Michael Foley, Pat Gleeson(0-7f), Paul Downes(0-1), John Madden, Eoghan Keogh, Dylan Cronin, Mike Brougham(1-1), Evan Egan.Subs: David Sheppard(0-1)Mark Ryan


Camogie


The intermediate camogie team were in League action on Monday when they travelled to Caherelly to take on Bruff.

We were minus several regulars on the day and this shone through but nevertheless a great battling performance by the girls.We had good performances from the ever improving Sarah Connors, Leanne Egan, Michelle Fahy in defence while up front Claire Casey, Olivia Barrett and Gemma Healy work tirelessly for the team.
