2014 Amalgamations – Kilpeacon & Tory Gaels

Crecora Manister GAA Club are in the unique position of being quite strong in numbers at underage level and at adult level. But unfortunately in between, normally from U14 up to U21, numbers drop off in a lot of clubs and so clubs amalgamate or join up with other clubs struggling with numbers in order to put out teams.

In the past we have joined up with different clubs and for 2014 we are joined up with Fedamore under the name “Kilpeacon” at Under 14 Level and also with Croom under the name “Tory Gaels “ at Minor and U21 Level

Please keep an eye out for these teams also as the season progresses .

Don’t forget our Minor squad last year brought back 3 titles under the name “Kilpeacon”.
Game time and competitive action is what it is all about , so it is important that teams can be put out at all age groups.

U14 Feile Hurling versus Cappamore

Kilpeacon played Cappamore in U14 Feile Hurling match on Sunday 30th March in Cappamore. We were missing a few players on the day due to other sports events and also had players returning from injury.

While we started well, we failed to capitalise on good attacking play. Cappamore got a goal and a point and we were always playing catch up from there.

All 19 players that attended contributed and while we were well beaten on the day, we know we have some good young hurlers and need to continue to build for the future.

Our Squad on the day was Padraig Byrnes, Chris Shanahan, Barry Moore, Colin Haigney, Thomas Shanahan, Richard Murphy, Shane O’Connor, Donnacha Connolly, Sam O’Donnell, James Conheady, Ciaran Humphries, Cathal O’Neill, Cian Enright, Conor Godfrey, Eoghan O’Connor, Ethan Hennessy, Fergal Egan, Ciaran Kennedy, John Bourke.
