earned them a semi-final place where they lost (5-4 to 2-3) to Cappawhite who went on to win the final. Thanks to Christy Morgan, Liam O’Kelly, Craig Morgan and Kian O’Kelly who looked after the team. Thanks to Holycross for the invitation and their hospitality on the day.

The football team lost out to a stronger Newport side in the semi-final that was played in Lacken Park.

 

Under 12

Congratulations to the MacDonaghs (Dubh) football team that won the County ‘D’ final with a 1-6 to 1-2 victory over Moycarkey-Borris in Templetuohy. This is a 9-a-side competition but both sides agreed to play 11-a-side to facilitate greater participation. MacDonaghs played against a strong breeze in the first half and trailed by two points at the interval with the score 1-2 to 1-0 in favour of the Mid champions. Michael Cleary raised the green flag for the Magpies. With the breeze in their backs MacDonaghs dominated possession in the second period. The prolific Michel Cleary added five points with Shane Cleary also chipping in with a white flag. MacDonaghs were worthy winners against a very competitive Moycarkey outfit that was managed by former Kilruane and Moneygall player John Costigan. Panel: Donnacha O’Meara, Darragh White, Cillian Healy (Capt), Shane Cleary, Tommy Burriss, William Jones, Fearghal Doheny, Michael Hennelly, Dara O’Looney, Michael Cleary, Adam Carroll, Cathal McIntyre, Jack Quinlisk, Cillian Franks, Colin Dorris, Thomas O’Brien, Cormac Gaynor and Zack Clarke (Injured)

 

U10 & U8

On last Sunday morning both panels headed to Murroe to play the home club in a series of games. Thirty-four U8 players and twenty-one U10 players made the trip. Parents and players were treated to a barbecue when the hurling was over. Then it was on to the Gaelic Grounds to see the Tipperary teams in action. Although disappointed with the results against Limerick the boys enjoyed the day out. Thanks to Murroe-Boher for their hospitality.
