HURLING

Hard luck to the minor hurlers who lost out to Carrickshock in the Kilkenny Vehicle Centre Roinn B County Final in Páirc Lachtain, Freshford on Sunday afternoon last. An early goal from Rory Sherman gave Conahy an ideal start, and they led by 1-8 to 0-9 at half-time. But the Carrickshock men dominated the second half, and try as Conahy might, they could not respond. In the end, Carrickshock were deserving winners by 1-21 to 1-10.

The locals can still feel proud of their achievements in qualifying for the county final and their performances throughout the year. Well done to all the players and the coaching team of James Bergin, Padraic Nolan and Martin Fitzpatrick. 

TEAM: Neil Webster, Mounir Zouaoui, Tadgh Hennessy, Bobby Dooley, Finn Sherman, Jack Rhatigan, James Byrne, Darragh Horgan (Capt.), Rory Rhatigan, Billy Rowe, Patrick Kennedy, Jack Buggy, Rory Sherman, Joe Boland, MJ Buggy, Brian Phelan, Padraic Quinn, Rory Dunne, Brian Tierney, Camryn Kenehan, Sam Connellan, Mikey Hurley, Jack Gamble, Ben Byrne.

 

Attention now returns to the county title winning junior hurlers who return to action on this Sunday afternoon at 1.30 p.m. They will begin their Leinster Junior Championship campaign when they travel to Glenisk O’Connor Park, Tullamore, to play Shamrocks (Offaly) in the championship quarter-final. All support for the team would be welcome for the team - best wishes to everyone involved.
