Minor Hurling
The minor hurlers guaranteed themselves a quarter final spot with a 3-17 to 2-10 away victory against Eire Óg Nenagh. They followed up their first round victory against Templederry with an impressive display against a good Nenagh side. With county minor Brian O Meara leading by example MacDonaghs had the better of matters in the first half and were not flattered by a one point interval lead with the score 1-8 to 1-7. On the resumption Kilruane continued to dominate and a Niall O Meara goal helped to open a seven point lead. Nenagh fought back and reduced the deficit to three points. Then full forward Sean Hayes latched on to a Sean Kelly cross to raise a crucial green flag. Four unanswered points helped seal an important victory. The final group game will be at home to Newport Gaels.
