Senior Hurling:
In the second round of the county league the senior hurlers had a narrow home victory against Burgess on a 2 – 12 to 2 – 10 scoreline. On a bitterly cold day MacDonaghs had their first use of the strong wind and at the break led with the score 0 – 8 to 0 – 5 in their favour.

Considering the strength of the wind this lead looked far from sufficient. However, against the elements MacDonaghs made a great start to the second half. Seamus Hennessy hit two points and Ray McLoughney kicked a great goal.

Burgess responded with a goal but a point from Seamus Hennessy and a goal from Shane Quinlan left eight points between the sides. Burgess struck a purple patch and hit 1 – 4 without reply to leave two points between the sides at the final whistle.

Team: Kevin O’Brien, Brian Gaynor, Martin Walsh, Gavin McAvinchey, Stephen Murphy, Pat Williams, Colm Williams, Kevin Quinlan, Eoin Hogan (0-1), Alan Ryan, Denis Cahill, Seamus Hennessy (0-9), Ray McLoughney (1-2), Mark O’Leary and Shane Williams. Subs Shane Quinlan (1-0), Michael Costello and Jonathan Cahill.
