Junior

In the penultimate league game MacDonaghs lost 3-17 to 1-12 against Burgess in Kilcolman. On a beautiful evening for hurling the home side, who had a liberal sprinkling of senior players, always had the edge in this game. Liam Gibson opened the scoring with a point from play — it was the only time the Magpies led in this encounter. Burgess responded with five points on the trot to wrestle control of the game. At the interval the home side led by 2-9 to 0-6. MacDonaghs started the second half brightly and Cormac Mannion crashed the sliotar to the net from close range. However, the visitors couldn’t build on this and Burgess quickly reasserted their authority and ran out deserving winners. Team: Niall Shinners, Tom Dooley, Pat Williams, Bob Dooley, Caoilainn Conroy, Declan Barrett (0-4), Cormac Williams, Conor Austin (0-1), Liam Gibson (0-1), Mark O’Meara (0-1), Conor Cleary (0-2), Paddy Ryan, Robert Austin (0-1), Brendan McAdams and Cormac Mannion (1-1). Subs: James Keogh, Finnian Mannion and Nathan Ryan.

 

Under 21

Best of luck to Cian Darcy, Billy O’Shea (selector) and the Tipperary team against Limerick. Unfortunately, Darragh Peters is ruled out of contention with a dislocated shoulder.

 

Under 14

In a high scoring encounter MacDonaghs came out the wrong side of a 3-17 to 6-7 scoreline against Borris-Ileigh in MacDonagh Park. The visitors led by seven points at the interval and were still in control as the game entered the final ten minutes. MacDonaghs staged a great rally but the winning post came too soon and they lost out by the minimum of margins.

 

Under 12

Our teams enjoyed mixed fortunes during the week. MacDonaghs (Bán) edged out Borrisokane by 2-12 to 3-3 while MacDonaghs (Dubh) lost to Borris-Ileigh.

 

 Under 8

In glorious sunshine MacDonaghs travelled to Nenagh on last Saturday morning. The panel was divided into three teams to take on the home sides ensuring that every player derived maximum benefit from the games. Thanks to Nenagh for hosting our players.
