U14 Hurling challenge versus Parteen

Kilpeacon GAA( Crecora Manister GAA and Fedamore GAA) played a challenge match versus Parteen in U14 Hurling recently. This was a good game of hurling from start to finish. We scored a few early points but Parteen got a goal slightly against the run of play. We added on a few points with Cathal O’Neill very accurate from placed balls. Parteen scored a second goal and we held a slender lead at half time.

Parteen had the wind for the second half and piled on the pressure but our backs responded well and Rory Hannon had a good game in goals for the second half. We scored a good goal and added points. Our scorers on the day were Cathal O’Neill, Colin Haigney, Richard Murphy , Conor Godfrey. While Parteen ended up winning by two points on a score line of 3:8 to 1:12 this was a good display from all the panel .On reflection, we should have scored more in the first half with wind assistance. Special mention to James Conheady who hurled very well at mid-field and Sam O’Donnell who played well at Centre back in the first half.

Our Panel on the day included Chris Shanahan, Padraig Byrnes, Ciaran Humphries, Joshua Skehan Fitzgerald, Thomas Shanahan, Sam O’Donnell, Colin Coughlan, James Conheady, Donnacha Connolly, Colin Haigney, Richard Murphy, Brendan Power, Cian Enright, Conor Godfrey, Fergal Egan, Jack Dalton, Rory Hannon, Shane O’Connor.

Training continues every Tuesday and Saturday and if there are any more hurlers at U14 age level in Crecora/Fedamore/Manister area that are interested in joining us, they are very welcome.

Junior Hurlers versus Ballybricken / Bohermore

Our Junior hurlers played Ballybricken / Bohermore in the 1st round of the ACHL on Tuesday April 8th. As this was both teams first competitive game of the year it began slow and the conditions made it difficult. We hurled well in patches and when we did we looked impressive. More matches will bring on the sharpness and consistency of performance that we need to compete. We won on a score line of 5 -8 to 1 – 6 and this win gives us a good start to the county league. We played Claughan Intermediate hurlers on Friday April 11th in a challenge game. The end result of 1 – 13 to 0- 15 saw us loose by a point, but the performance was very encouraging and we look forward to our City league campaign now.
Our panel for these games was: S Keating, P Sheehan, N Moloney, P Walsh, C Kelly, S Moloney, P O’Sullivan, E O’Shea, M McCormack, G Sheehan, R Hourigan, C Keyes, B Relihan, S Quinn, S McDermott, R Kelliher, T Moloney, M Gammell, C Scully, James Carroll, G Kelliher, F Carey and Damien Kearney.
