Peadar Cummins Hurling Tournament

In glorious sunshine the annual U14 inter-divisional tournament, held in honour of Peadar Cummins a former stalwart of Borris-Ileigh Juvenuile GAA Club, took place last weekend.

Following the semi-finals in which the Mid beat the North after extra time in the Ragg and the South overcame the West in Borrisoleigh, both finals were played in Borrisoleigh. In the Shield final the North defeated the West.

Later in the main final the Mid made it two in a row with a well deserved victory over the South. Neil Ryan secretary of the Juvenile County Board presented the cup to the captain of the victorious Mid team.

A big thank you is due to all who helped out on the day to make this tournament a continued success. to all who made and provided the refreshments, those that served them, the referees, linesmen, umpires and the young scoreboard operators, those who prepared the field and dressing rooms. Well done also to the managers and selectors of each team. Special mention to all the young players from each division who took part . Their skill and determination and sportsmanship was a fitting tribute to such an important event in the juvenile club calendar.
