County Hurling Champions!!  Huge congratulations to our Senior Hurling Team and Management who secured victory over Toomevara on Sunday to lift the Dan Breen for the fifth time in the history of the club. This was a unique final, Toomevara and ourselves had never before met at the final hurdle and the match was fitting of a County final. Every ball was fought for and there was no easy scores conceded. 12 points to 10 in our favour at half time but really the score board didn’t reflect the ferocity of the battle. Toomevara may not have been in a final for a number of years but they played as if it was something that they do every day. With just 6 minutes of normal time remaining we led 0-19 to 0-17 but then the two young substitutes who had just been introduced, Paul McCahey and Eoin O Connell combined in a move which put Paul in possession on the edge of the square and he made no mistake with a powerful drive beyond the goalkeeper. Toomevara answered quickly through one of their subs, Conor O Meara flicking a ball out of a ruck for a 3 pointer but the last act fell to Man of the Match John McGrath who dispossessed a defender near the end line and held off another tackle to somehow shake the net and confirm our win. The final score was 2-19 to 1-17 and Liam McGrath accepted the Dan Breen on behalf of a wonderful bunch of young men who have done their parish proud this year. And it’s not over yet. 

Next Saturday our Junior Football team face neighbours JK Brackens in the Ragg at 3.30 in the Premier Junior County Final and on Sunday the Seniors are back in the Stadium to take on Clonmel Commercials. These lads deserve our support as they give us so much pleasure throughout the year.
