Club Notes 15th July 2019
Senior ‘B’ Hurling Championship
Seir Kieran 1-20
Drumcullen 0-20
There was never much between these teams in a third round tie played in perfect conditions in Birr on Sunday. Drumcullen made most of the running early on but the concession of an early goal was to prove costly in the end.The early loss of Danny Maher through injury was a major setback. At the break the teams were locked at 0-10 to 1-7. Drumcullen took the lead for a time in the second half before the raging hot championship favourites took a grip on proceedings to establish a five point lead. Drumcullen fought back towards the end but it was too little too late. Our next game is on Saturday 27th at 3pm v Clodiagh Gaels in Mucklagh. : Team: E. Gath, D. Maher, D. Guinan, D. Mahon, J. Cashin (0-1), P. Guinan, C. Guinan, R. Gath, K. Fleury(0-2), J. Murray(0-1), D. Gath(0-1), M. Kennedy(0-4), J. McCarthy(0-1), C. Gath(0-8), B. O’Meara(0-1), Subs: B. Kinsella for D. Maher; D.
