HURLING

The under-16 hurlers were defeated by Mullinavat in a high scoring game in the quarter-final of the Duggan Steel Roinn C championship in Jenkinstown on Saturday morning last. Mullinavat led by 2-14 to 1-8 at the half way mark. The young Conahy team gave a great battling performance, but their opponents were able to get key scores when it mattered most to win out by 5-19 to 3-15. The Conahy goals were scored by Jack Buggy, Mounir Zouaoui and M.J. Buggy. Hard luck to all involved, and many thanks to the coaching team of Brian Buggy, Andy McDonald, Paul Horgan, Bobby Gamble and Brian Maher.
