Club Notes -2nd September 2019
Under 13 Hurling Preliminary Qtr Final
Drumcullen/Seir Kieran 7-7
Ballinamere 2-3
This was an unexpectedly one-sided contest which allowed team management to introduce a range of substitutes who gained valuable game time. Leading by 5-3 t0 2-1 at the break, the result was never in doubt. The win qualifies the team for a Qtr Final tilt with Kilcormac Killoughey at the weekend.
Fixtures
This weekend is one of the busiest of the year on the playing fields. Our Junior ‘B’ team play Belmont in Moystown on Friday evening at 6.30. On Saturday our Drumcullen/ Seir Kieran U13 hurlers face KK in Crinkle at 12noon in the quarter final while at the same time the Seir Kieran/Drumcullen minors play Na Fianna in Mucklagh in a preliminary qtr final.

We wish players and management the best of luck and urge supporters to travel in numbers.
