U21 A Hurling: We were comprehensively beaten by Kilruane last Sunday afternoon in Roscrea. This was a poor performance overall. We are now in the losers group where we will play Nenagh and the winners meet Lorrha. The winners of this losers group will go on to play Kilruane in the semi-final. We need to up our performance immensely and some players will have to stand up to the mark. There is no fixture for this weekend so a challenge game is arranged versus Templederry. The management will inform everyone of time date and venue so we need all players to attend.

Junior C Hurling: As of yet we have received no fixture. There will be training on Friday night with the U21 team. Please attend.

Development: Both goalmouths and 21 yards have been re-sodded and we would appreciate if people refrained from playing on same. We will be monitoring this at all times so please abide by our request. Thanking you . Thanks to all who helped with the re-sodding last Friday and Saturday. It was great to see so many people helping out.
