The overall winning nominator club will receive €10,000 and the fantastic opportunity to hold a fundraising night for their club at Limerick Greyhound Stadium at no cost. The nominator club in second and third position will win €5,000 and €2,000 respectively with the three unplaced nominators winning €1,000 each.

Mixed Results for U14 and U21 Hurlers

Féile Hurlers
Our under 14 hurlers Kilpeacon (Crecora Manister & Fedamore) competed in the 1st round of the Feile na nGael ‘A’ competition on Saturday 7th March against Ballybrown.

After a hard fought game Ballybrown managed to pull away unfortunately to win on a scoreline of 4 – 7 to 2 – 3.

Junior Hurlers give a good account of themselves

Our Junior Hurlers travelled to Ballingarry on Saturday 28th February to play premier intermediates Granagh-Ballingarry in a challenge game.

Our team gave a good account of themselves on the day and the game was a good exercise for them ahead of the upcoming League & Championship matches.

Some of this young team will also be playing in the South Under 21 Championship with Tory Gaels starting next weekend of 7th/8th March against Blackrock.
