CÚL CAMP:
A big thank you to all who volunteered during our summer camp this year ensuring it was a great success. We hope that all the children enjoyed their week learning the skills of Gaelic games.
MINORS:
Our minor footballers travelled to Ballingarry last Friday to play a second round championship against the hosts who failed to turn up due to registration issues. The footballers now play Athea on Tuesday 13th July in Crecora @ 7.30pm.
Our hurlers played a tough challenge match against Dromin-Athlacca last Sunday and are out against Killeedy this Friday 17th July in Crecora. All support welcome.
UNDER 16 FOOTBALLERS:
Our under 16 team had a great win last week over Askeaton-Ballysteen by 0-10 to 1-5 in Division 2A of the county championship.
Their next match is next Monday 20th July when they make the long trip to Athea.
UNDER 14 FOOTBALLERS:
Following our fantastic weekend in Wexford last week it was back to championship action for our U14 football squad on Wednesday evening with a trip over to Kildimo to play Kildimo Pallaskenry . On a great playing surface we played the first half with the aid of a slight breeze and while we had some good possession we found it hard against a solid Kildimo defence to convert our chances however we soon settled into the game and some fine points from Richard and Colin helped to settle us.
It was then time for our forwards to come into the game and some great passing and ball distribution helped Killian to rattle the net a couple of times leaving us with a nice but by no means comfortable lead at half time knowing that we would be playing into a strong breeze in the second half .
Kildimo Pallas had some strong footballers who knew how to run at our defence and threatened us early on in the second half but credit to our full back line who read the threat very well and inevitably cut out their final pass on a good few occasions to launch us into attack mode again.
Goals from Colin C and Fergal with some lovely points from Colin H , Cathal and Patrick helped us push on in the second half and win on a final scoreline of 7 – 10 to 1 – 4 .
Our next football match is on Friday 17th July, away to Bruff.
Panel on the night , Sam Riordan, Padraig Byrnes, John Bourke, Darragh O Keeffe, Philip O Toole, Patrick Dolphin, Cathal O Neill, Colin Haigney, James Conheady, Richard Murphy, Cian Enright, Killian Scanlon, Colin Coughlan, Fergal Egan, Rian O Byrne.
Next up for them is a hurling match against Na Piarsaigh where our lads are hoping to keep up their good record in Division 1. While on Friday they play Bruff in football.
JUNIOR A HURLERS:
After their disappointing 3-18 to 0-11 defeat to St. Patricks in round 1, our Junior A hurlers are out again this Saturday against Old Christians in Mungret.
Your support would be greatly appreciated.
COMISERATIONS:
Comiserations to the Limerick Senior, Intermediate and Minor hurling teams who were all beaten during the last week in disappointing circumstances. The Intermediates were unlucky to be pipped by Cork in the Munster Final in Páirc Uí Rinn last Thursday on a scoreline of 0-20 to 0-18 while the Seniors exited the championship to Dublin on Saturday by 1-17 to 1-16.
Our Minors were also beaten in Sunday’s Munster final by Tipperary 0-20 to 0-17. The good news is however that they are still in the All-Ireland series and now will play Galway on the weekend of July 25th/26th. Date, time and venue TBC. Meanwhile our under 21s will play Tipperary this Thursday 16th July in the Gaelic Grounds with a 7.30pm start.
