City Under 21 Hurling Championship Final.

Mungret and Kildimo/Pallaskenry contested the City Under21 hurling Championship in Clarina on Sunday last. Kildimo/Pallskenry started in a whirlwind with Barry O'Connell's  long range sideline cut flying all the way to the Mungret net. This was soon followed by a pointed free from Darren O'Connell. Mungret eased their way back slowly with a point from Brian Barry and with Conor Lenihan unerring from placed balls the half time score was Mungret 0-5 Kildimo/Pallaskenry 1-5. Words of encouragement at the interval did the trick for Mungret and they were a transformed side on the resumption of play. Substitute Aaron Hickey followed a pointed free from Lenihan with a neat point from play. Niall Mulcahy and Conor Lenihan added a further four points to see Mungret extend their lead. Darren O'Connell struck for a goal and a point from Barry O'Connell kept Kildimo Pallaskenry within reach but sadly that was the end of their scoring for the afternoon. Mungret added a further goal and ten points to see the final score of Mungret 1-21 to Kildimo/Pallaskenry's 2-6. Mungret emerged victorious and with tally from Conor Lenihan of no fewer than fifteen points, this would win most contests at this grade and a Man of the match performance from Eoin Doherty at midfield who worked tirelessly for the whole game. Mungret will offer a stiff challenge at County stage of the Under 21 Competition.

Scorers: Mungret Conor Lenihan 0-15 (0-13f), B Barry 0-1, A Hickey 0-3, N Mulcahy 1-2. Kildimo/Pallaskenry B O'Connell 1-2, D O'Connell 1-3 (0-2f), J O'Keeffe 0-1.
