Senior Hurling
The senior hurlers won division one of the county league with a 2-17 to 1-10 win against Boherlahan- Dualla in Templemore. Last year Kilruane MacDonaghs were beaten finalists against Thurles Sarsfields but this time, despite the determined challenge of Boherlahan, the Jim Devitt Cup was captured for the first time. Two first half goals by Mikey Costello and Mark O Leary help separate two sides badly hit by injuries prior to the throw in and during the game. (See match report) This Sunday the championship begins with the first round game against Portroe in Nenagh at 1.30 p.m.
