The hurling championship semi-finals took place at Tourlestrane

on Sat. last Sept. 21st.  In the first decider the reigning champions

Calry St. Joseph’s took on Naomh Eoin who were featuring in the semi-finals

for the first time in a few years. Calry had the upper hand in the first half

with the scoreline at the break 2-9 to 0-1 in favour of the champions.

Naomh Eoin put in a spirited display in the second half but despite their

best efforts the final scoreline was 4-17 to 0-6 in favour of Calry.

In the second semi-final last year’s runners up Coolera-Strandhill took

on Western Gaels. This proved to be a very closely contested match with

very little between the teams at half-time with Coolera just edging it on a

scoreline of 1-5 to 0-6. In the second half Coolera with the aid of the breeze

edged further ahead but a goal by Western Gaels brought them right back into

things. Coolera tacked on a number of late points to win on a scoreline of

1-12 to 1-9.  The championship final is set for the weekend of Oct. 5th/6th.

We wish the U14 county hurlers every success in the Connelly/Cunniffe

competition in Galway on Sat. Sept. 28th
