Senior
A four-point victory over Roscrea on a 3-19 to 2-18 scoreline in Toomevara cemented our position as group winners. Considering we lined out without Niall O’Meara, Cian Darcy, Mark O’Neill and Paidí Williams this was a good victory over a Roscrea side that had played exceptionally well against Nenagh. After 51minutes Roscrea had surged into a four-point lead and the momentum was with them. In the final quarter MacDonaghs showed great character to turn the four-point deficit into a four-point victory with Tomás Hogan scoring the decisive goal in the 61st minute. The quarter-finals are scheduled for the weekend of 17th October. We can be drawn against Loughmore-Castleiney, Upperchurch-Drombane, Clonoulty-Rossmore or Killenaule (if Killenaule beat Borris-Ileigh).
Junior ‘A’
The semi-final against Nenagh is in Borrisokane on this Sunday, 3rd October at 4.00pm. This will be a mammoth task against a Nenagh team that has won all its group games in a convincing fashion. In the final group game we lost out to Nenagh by eight points. MacDonaghs have prepared well and are ready for one big effort against the championship favourites.
Junior ‘C’
We remain in the hunt for a semi-final with one game left to play against Ballina which is likely to be played on the weekend of 10th October.
