Full steam ahead now for Championship - Fixtures out for Round 1 and Round 2
Good win for Rathnure in ACHL Div 1 final yesterday but possibly at a cost with Luke Codd going off with a hand injury and Rory Higgins limping off after going over on his ankle. Also started without their 3 county men who are all carrying injuries. Annes missing a few too but D O'Keeffe was superb in first half but when Aidan Rochford went off injured the Annes started to struggle a little. Liam Og was well marshalled .. Michael Redmond scored 7 superb points from play and kept Rathnure in the game when they struggled in the first half. Jack Redmond was sluggish but someone mentioned he had only arrived home from holidays that morning. Eoin Ryan has departed to foreign shores so he is a big loss to Annes.
