MINORS:
Our minor hurlers had a fine win last Tuesday night against Killeedy in Crecora. They were somewhat unlucky to go in six points down at half time to a Killeedy side that included two players that recently played against Galway in the All-Ireland Minor quarter final. However, our lads produced a powerful battling display in the second half but still found themselves trailing by eight points with five minutes to play. The lads’ never say die attitude paid off thankfully as they scored four goals in the last five minutes to win by four: 8 – 8 (32) to 3 – 18 (28). They now play Bruree on Tuesday in Crecora at half 6 in their penultimate group game. Just one win from their last two games will see them through to the knockout stages.
Our footballers play their last game on Friday against Kilteely also in Crecora at 6.30pm. A win for us, along with favourable results in other games, will see us through also to the knockout stages. Your support for both games is welcome as always.

UNDER 16:
Kilpeacon (Crecora Manister and Fedamore) travelled to Tournafulla to play them in an u16 Hurling match recently. We started sluggishly and they got a few early scores. Once we settled we started to play much better and there was some good passing movements. While we were well down at half time , the lads really upped their performance in the second half.
We came right back into the game with strong performances from Karl Moloney , Michael Fitzgerald, Thomas Shanahan, Donnacha Connolly and Sam O’Donnell. Our forwards were now a threat and good goals were scored by Shane O’Connor, Richard Murphy, Cathal O’Neill and Sam O’Donnell. The players did themselves proud in the second half. We probably could have won this game if we had not conceded the early goals. Our last match is Monday 31st August in Crecora versus Rathkeale.
Our squad on the night were : Padraig Byrnes, Jack Dalton, Ben Kirby, Thomas Shanahan, Colin Haigney, Karl Moloney, Richard Murphy, Donnacha Connolly, Karl Moloney, Sam O’Donnell, Shane O’Connor, James Conheady, Niall Khan, Conor Godfrey, Cathal O’Neill, Ciaran Kennedy.

UNDER 14:
Our under 14 hurlers have a winner-takes-all play off game versus our neighbours Patrickswell this Staurday at 11am in Patrickswell. A win for our lads would see them through to the cup semi final against Ballybrown, while defeat will see us into the shield final where Ahane await. Once again, your support is welcome on Saturday.
Meanwhile, our under 14 footballers will play Ballyhoura Gaels (Blackrock, Effin, Staker Wallace) in the division 2 semi final in the upcoming weeks. The time, date and venue of that game is still to be confirmed.
