County Final
The U-21 hurlers gave a tremendous performance in overcoming Thurles Sarsfields to capture the county title for the seventh time. They showed spirit, heart and determination in getting the better of a formidable Thurles outfit. They displayed their true mettle when they had to come from behind in the second half. Congratulations to the players, manager Paddy Williams and selectors John Quinlan, John Hyland and Pat Shanahan, physio John Casey and all the backroom team. The team was given a fantastic reception when they arrived back in the village.
