U9 Hurling:- Ferrybank was the venue last Wednesday evening, 15th April, as our u-9s played De la Salle and the host club in a 3 game blitz. Each club has 2 teams, so every player got a game. Well done to all concerned, keep up the good work.

U-14 Football:- Rathgormack were the visitors to Kill last Monday evening, 13th April, for the latest round of the championship. The Comeragh boys proved too strong for our lads who fought to the bitter end losing on a 6-2 to 3-2 scoreline.

U-11 Hurling:- Our u-11 hurlers had a busy and a trying week in the city league in the week just gone. On Monday 13th, Kilmacow were the visitors to Bunmahon as we suffered a heavy 8-7 to 0-0 defeat. Four days later we travelled to Sleiverue to take on the home team in Round 3 of the league. A bad start didn't help the lads confidence, yet they battled gamely away for the hour losing in a 6-7 to 1-0 scoreline with young Jack Mooney knotching a goal. Others to impress were Jane Kirwan, Jack Hennessy and Adam Moynihan in goal.

Minor Football:- Our minor footballers completed their league programme over the last week and have safely qualified for the semi-final of the championship which will take place on the weekend 8/9 May. As of writing the notes we are not sure who our opponents will be just yet, but much too look forward to with this good bunch of lads. Back to the action and last Tues evening, 14th April, we faced Killrossanty in Lemybrien and ran out comfortable winners on a 4-11 to 0-4 scoreline. We were due to play Ballyduff upper this coming week but as they gave a second walkover, they are new eliminated from the championship and so we receive the points. More news next week.

U-21 'B' Football Champions:- At the second time of asking our u-21s captured the county title in Fraher field last Saturday evening when they proved too strong for Brickey Rangers (see report elsewhere in paper). The returning Jona Fenton and Niall Queally made a huge difference to the team and so did Ciaran Kirwan who was available after his efforts with St. Declans. Despite playing with a strong breeze we only led by 2 points coming up to the interval when a mini scoring burst of 2-3 either side of the short whistle copper fastened the win. It was just rewards for some of these lads who have lost the last two County U-21 finals and a couple of minor finds to boot as well. Well done to the young management trio of Conor Hennessy, Tommy Dunphy and William Harney who have done trojan work with this group since late January (thats not easy with most lads in college and adult competition as well). As its some lads last time in a St.Marys jersey we wish them well with their adult club and thank them for many years service to the maroon and white.
