Well done to Conor Byrne, Screen, who attained 4th place in the Leinster Poc Fada competition recently.

Conor would like to thank the club and hurley maker Albert Randall who provided him with a hurl crafted from Irish ash specially for the competition. Three shels men were on the victorious Wexford minor hurling team that beat Laois this week. Benny Barron, Screen (Captain), James Gordon, Curracloe and Brian Doyle, Screen. All three men gave stalwart performances and did us proud. Wexford will now meet Kilkenny in Leinster final which will be played in Croke Park in early July. Our under 12 Footballers played Craanford last Tuesday night. Craanford made a bright start to the game but a goal from Dylan Potter just before half time left the half time score at Craanford 2-06 Shels 1-03. The second half began with our lads really turning on the style with a succession of points from Jody Donohoe, Conor Hearne (2), Dylan Potter (2) and Shane Neville to make the scores level. The teams shared the next four points before a point from Cian Manley left the Shels a point up with two minutes to go. Craanford went on the attack and with almost the last kick of the game the ball ended up in the back of the net to leave Craanford winners on a scoreline of 3-08 to 1- 12. Best were Nick Whelan, Dan Campbell, Nathan Murphy and Conor Hearne with Subs Bill Quaid and Gareth Jones also making a big impact. Well done to Sean Byrne, Screen and Neil Rossiter Castlebridge who were recently selected for county duty on the Wexford U15 hurling and football teams respectively.
