Senior
Last Saturday’s 2-27 to 2-18 loss against Thurles Sarsfields brought our season to an end. Thurles always had the upper hand in this game and led 1-14 to 0-9 at the interval. A Niall O’Meara goal in the forty-eighth minute gave a glimmer of hope, and the deficit was reduced to five points with eleven minutes left. However, Thurles finished strongly and were deserving winners.
Team: Páidí Williams, James Cleary, Aaron Morgan, Jack Peters, Cormac Kennedy, Craig Morgan, Shane Cleary, Cathal England, Kieran Cahill, Tommy O’Meara, Niall O’Meara (1-0), Kian O’Kelly (0-2), Willie Cleary (1-11, 0-9 frees), Thomas Cleary, Cian Darcy (0-2).
Subs: Mark O’Neill (0-2), Darragh Peters, Michael Cleary (0-1).
Thanks to the players and management for their efforts during the year.
