Senior Hurling
The senior hurlers were beaten in the preliminary round of the North championship by Kildangan (See match report). They now enter the group stages of the county championship which won’t take place until June.
Peil na nÓg
The u-14 footballers were beaten by Lorrha in the final of the Peil na nÓg on a 4-6 to 2-6 scoreline. As in the drawn game Lorrha made a lightning start and had 1-1 on the board inside four minutes. An Aidan Boyle goal soon got Kilruane off the mark and at the interval they only trailed by two points. On the resumption an Anton Banaghan goal followed by a point from Robert Ward saw them hit the front for the first time. However, Lorrha responded with a goal and they finished strongly to take the title. Congratulations to Lorrha who were worthy winners and well done to the Kilruane MacDonaghs players who acquitted themselves well in both games.Team: Jamie Heffernan, Ian McSherry, P.J.
