Hurlers record a two point victory to kick start their League Campaign.
Our hurlers enjoyed a positive win in their opening league match that was played against St Patricks on April 4th. Final score on the night was Rathkeale 2-15 St Patricks 3-10. Rathkeale will play Old Christians in their next encounter which is scheduled for April 18th, Old Christians received a walkover from Drom Broadford.
Senior Footballers opening Championship match fast approaching.
The Rathkeale Senior Footballers are busy preparing for their opening County Senior Football Championship match which is now only 10 days or so away. The game will be played against St Patricks in Ballyagran on Saturday April 25th at 7.00pm. St Patricks will provide tough opposition as they hope to go one better in 2015 after losing the 2014 final to Ballylanders last October. Rathkeale will hope to improve on their 2014 campaign when they made their debut as senior footballers. Best of luck to all involved. Other matches we will be keeping an eye on will be the meeting of Drom/Broadford v Monaleen and Ballylanders v Pallasgreen. Both these games will be played on Sunday 26th of April.
