Under 14 Footballers

Our under 14 footballers were back in County Championship action on Friday evening when they travelled to Mick Neville Park Rathkeale to take on Kilpeacon( Crecora/Manister/ Fedamore) in the semi final.
Minus the services of several key players the strength of the panel was really tested.
Minutes in to the game our opponents were awarded a penalty which was dispatched past the diving Eoin Sherlock.
However for the remainder of the half the lads dominated all sectors except on the scoreboard where our shooting left a lot to be desired.
This would ultimately be our downfall as we trailed at the break 1-2 to 0-3.
Playing against the wind in the second half we fought bravely and really brought the game to Kilpeacon, but our concession of two second half goals, a second penalty was to be end of the line.
We did manage to score a perfectly good goal with 5 minutes left but for some strange reason the referee decided to disallow it.
And so our long successful season comes to an end and huge compliments must go to the management and entire panel of players who worked so hard throughout the season.
Team: Eoin SHerlock, Conor Moloney, David O Byrne, Shane Harney, Killian Dineen, Sean Long(0-1), Ian Leonard, Jay Hickey, Adam McNamara, David Ryan, Emmett McEvoy, James Daly, Jack Barry, Jack O Sulivan(1-4), Dean O Donnell.
Final Score Kilpeacon 3-4 Na Piarsaigh 1-5

Under 16 Hurlers

The under 16 hurlers were also in County semi final action over the weekend when they travelled across town to face a fancied Murroe Boher side in Claughaun GAA Club grounds.
Due to the long break between games the management were anxious that we hit the ground running from the first whistle and they duly obliged.
With a strong breeze at our backs we got some great scores Conor Boylan, Daniel Long, Lucas O Sullivan and William Henn whose free taking was excellent throughout.
We scored two first half goals courtesy of Lucas O Sullivan and midfield dynamo Joe Gleeson to put us in control at the break 2-08 to0-6.
It was agreed that the game was far from over at half time and a Murroe onslaught was expected especially with the breeze at their backs.
However our defence was excellent with Gearoid Synnott doing an excellent job on the rangy Murroe Boher full forward.
Padraig Heaney and Conor Richardson on either side were excellent mopping up any loose ball while Jerome Boylan at center back was excellent along with Mark Considine beside him.
Two well taken second half goals from ace attacker Conor Boylan and a fifth from Jamie Mawhinney sealed victory and an excellent team performance.
It is now Kilmallock in the final in a couple of weeks time.
Team: Sean McKeogh, Padraic Heaney, Evan Gilvarry, Conor Richardson, Nathan Bennis Whelan, Jerome Boylan, Mark Considine, Joe Gleeson(1-3)Donal O Connall, Lucas O SUllivan(1-1), Conor Boylan(2-2), Daniel Long(0-1), Reuben McCarthy, Gearoid Synnott, William Henn(0-4,3f).Subs: Jamie Mawhinney(1-0)

Under 12 Hurlers

The U/12 Hurling Navy team completed their league programme recently with a very good game against Mungret.
Aided by a very strong wind, Na Piarsaigh were quickest to settle and raced into an early 2 goal lead, both coming from Patrick O' Neill who continues his recent excellent form.
John Fitzgerald was excellent at centre back in this opening period and , together with the rest of the backs, worked tirelessly to repel frequent Mungret attacks. Dillon Skehan added to our score with an excellent point and , with JJ Carey playing his best game yet for Na Piarsaigh at midfield , our lads began to build a comfortable lead before half time. The 2nd half was a different story as Mungret rallied very well with the elements behind them. Our backs were under tremendous pressure but James Naughton, Stephen Mitchell & Colm Downey were heroic in defence when called upon. All our lads were very tenacious and disciplined throughout this second half & eventually earned a narrow victory. We also played Monaleen last Sunday week and , in a very close & high scoring game , again ran out victors by the narrowest of margins with particular highlights being the great performance of Dillon Skehan at midfield and a spectacular 2nd half goal by the ever improving Charles Hogan. Well done all.

Senior Hurlers

Our senior hurlers wrapped up their group unbeaten following a fifth consecutive victory when they saw off the challenge of Ballybrown in the Gaelic Grounds on Saturday.
We got off to a perfect start when Kevin Downes goaled inside the first 5 minutes to set us on our way.
Points from Ronan Lynch(2), Alan Dempsey and Shane Dowling increased our tally and our second goal came courtesy of a 21 yard free from Shane Dowling to send us in 4 in front 2-9 to 2-5 at the break.
This was a close game with no more than a few points between the teams until the final few minutes when Adrian Breen added our third goal to seal victory.
Final Score: Na Piarsaigh 3-17 Ballybrown 2-11
We now await the results from next Sundays quarter finals before knowing our opponents in the semi final on Sept 28th
Team: Padraic Kennedy, Michael Casey, Kieran Breen, Mark Buckley, Cathal King, David Breen, Ronan Lynch(0-2,1f), Alan Dempsey(0-2), Pat Gleeson, James O Brien, Kevin Downes(1-2), David Dempsey(0-1),Adrian Breen(1-1), Shane Dowling(1-9,7f), William O Donoghue

Our junior hurlers had a pretty facile victory over St Patricks on Sunday afternoon.
Two first half goals from Peter Casey and an Evan Egan goal in the second half along with 7 points from play from David Sheppard were the highlights in a 3-24 to 0-10 victory.
A semi final next against Ballybrown with no time or date yet announed.
