Our U14 hurlers played a friendly match against Parteen on Saturday 28th March in Parteen. Once again the coaches wanted to try out guys in different positions. John Burke played very well in a new midfield role and Cathal O’Neill  started at Full Forward and Dara Nash and Rory Quirke in the full back line.

Rory Hannon played well in goals and is really improving in a specialist position.

There was some really good interplay between team mates with stick and hand passing to guys in better positions. Kilpeacon got off to a great start banging in a number of early goals to give the team a solid half time lead.

Good play by Richard Murphy interlinking with other forwards meant we continued to add to the score sheet although Parteen put up a much stronger show in the second half getting 2 more goals.

Guys like Fergal, Darragh and Rian all worked hard for the team with some nice touches by Eoghan and Chris.

Overall we had a really good game on a fine pitch in Parteen.
