Senior Hurlers
Our senior hurlers qualified for the County Semi Finals on Tuesday after a hard fought group game versus Granagh Ballingarry  where we had to come from behind to record this win.

Granagh raced into a seven points to two lead but the accuracy of Shane Dowling kept us in touch and trailed at the break by a goal 1-9 to 0-9.

We finally hit a purple patch midway through the second half and goals from David Dempsey and Kevin Downes put us in front 2-16 to 2-12 and from there to the finish we traded points to make it four wins from four starts.

We now have one group game remaining against Ballybrown before the semi final line is decided.
