Mick Cowan Masters Tournament: Congratulations to Moyne Templetouhy who won the Mick Cowan Masters Tournament held in Borrisoleigh on Saturday night. It was a marvellous night of hurling and great to see so many familiar faces back out on the hurling field. Huge thanks must go to all involved in the organisation and running of the tournament. A gallery with a selection of photos from the event is available here.

Senior Hurling: Well done to our senior hurlers who had a great win over Toomevara in the North Quarter Final on Sunday last. The game took place in Nenagh at 3pm, and playing with a breeze we led by 7 at the break. The hard work from our players saw Toome unable to break us down for much of the second half and we saw the game out winning by 1-22 to 1-19. We have been drawn to play Nenagh in the North Semi Final. No fixture has been made yet.

Junior Hurling: Our Junior A team take on Kilruane McDonaghs in the final group game of the championship on Sunday evening next in Moneygall at 6.30pm. All support greatly appreciated.
Our Junior B team take on Ballina on Saturday evening in their final group game of the championship. The game will take place in Dolla at half six. A win will be needed for any chance of qualifying.

Minor Hurling: Well done to our minor team who recorded their third win of the campaign with a great 3-20 to 2-07 win over Roscrea last Thursday evening in Moneygall.
