UNDER 21 HURLERS:
Our under 21 hurlers Tory Gaels are now into the county A final after victory over West champions Croagh Kilfinny last Tuesday in Ballyagran. It was point for point early on with both teams taking some time to suss each other out. Croagh struck first for a goal though however and took a 1 – 5 to 0 – 4 lead after twenty minutes.
However, a brilliant goal from wing forward Edwin Wixted brought us back into the game and we were level at half time 1-6 a piece. We were the stronger side in the second half and some lovely points from Conor Laffan eventually had us five clear with ten minutes to go.
Despite a late rally from a resilient Croagh side, we held out for a place in the county final on a score of 1-15 to 1-12.
They will now play Murroe-Boher in the county final on Saturday 25th April after they beat Mungret 1 – 12 to 0 – 10 in the other semi final on Sunday evening.

MINOR HURLERS:
Our minor hurlers went down to a heavy defeat to Croom in the first round of the County minor 13-a-side hurling championship.
We had a number of inexperienced hurlers playing on the night and a number of soft goals in the first half didn’t help our cause.
We made a better fist of it in the second half and had some nice points from Edwin Wixted, Conor Kirby and Michael Bateman. However, these scores didn’t stop us from going down to a heavy defeat.
