Senior Hurling:
The senior hurlers made a winning start to the county league when they had a home win against Upperchurch – Drombane on a 2 – 15 to 1 – 12 scoreline. Upperchurch had the use of the wind in the first half and lead by two points at the break. It took MacDonaghs a long time to get into their stride but a goal from Michael Costello helped tilt the balance in favour of the home side. A second goal from Seamus Hennessy helped to seal victory.
