Club Notes -12th August 2019

Senior ‘B’ Hurling Championship

Drumcullen 1-21

Shamrocks 2-11

Five points in as many minutes at the start gave Drumcullen a foothold they never lost and were the better team throughout. Played in Moystown on a blustery and showery Friday evening there were many excellent displays and the concession of two late goals only served to put a gloss on the scoreboard. At that stage Drumcullen had lost Donal and Podge Guinan from the spine of their defence through injury and we wish them both a speedy recovery. Leading 0-12 t0 0-5 at the break, Drumcullen never looked in danger of losing although the performance dropped somewhat in the second half. With two games to play they have qualified for the knock-out stages already with seven points. Team: E. Gath, B. Kinsella, D. Guinan, D. Mahon, D. Maher, P. Guinan, H. Ryan, J. Cashin (0-1), K. Fleury, R. Gath (0-3), D. Gath (0-4), M. Kennedy (0-1), J. Murray, Conor Gath (0-8), Colm Gath (1-4) Subs: C. Guinan, D. Spain, P. Cashin.

U13 Hurling Championship (Play-off)

Drumcullen/Seir Kieran 6-9

Lusmagh/Kinnitty 4-7

This was a fine game which was in the balance until the last few minutes. L/K were the physically stronger outfit and looked the more likely winner at different stages but DSK ability to finish with goals was the decisive factor coupled with stout defending to prevent scores at the other end. DSK led 3-6 to 2-4 at half-time and while L/K drew level in the second half they were never able to lead and DSK were deserving winners. They now go forward to play Coolderry. Team: K. Spain, G. Dooley, K. Morris, J. Hennessy, J. Dooner, J. Ryan, J. Foley, M. Ryan (2-0), J. Troy, R. Hollywood, S. Carey (0-5), C. Mannion, P. Lyons (0-1), D. Hollywood (4-3), C. Nugent. Subs used: D. Dooley, K. Carey, J. Dooley.
