HURLING

The junior hurlers made a thrilling comeback to defeat John Lockes and qualify for the JJ Kavanagh Premier Junior Championship county final after a nail biting semifinal in UPMC Nowlan Park on Saturday evening last. The locals were four points down with ten minutes to play, but a goal from Thomas Rice followed by a series of points from Edmond Delaney, Karl Downey, Tom Phelan and James Bergin saw Conahy win out by 1-21 to 1-18. Conahy will now face Graignamanagh in the county final on Saturday week, October 24th, at 3.00 p.m. in UPMC Nowlan Park. Well done to all involved on a great result and many thanks to everyone who came to support the team on Saturday.

The minor hurlers made it an even more successful weekend on the playing field when they also had a great victory over Lisdowney in the Kilkenny Vehicle Centre Roinn B quarter final on Sunday evening last in Lisdowney. Despite losing to the same opposition a few weeks ago in the league stages, and also having three players who lined out with the junior team twenty four hours earlier, Conahy produced an excellent performance to win out by 1-24 to 1-18. They will now face St. Martin’s in the county semi-final, with the date and time to be confirmed at the time of writing.
