Two goals in the first five minutes from Danny Anglim and Sam Costello gave us the best possible start. Anglim added his second and our third goal soon after before Mark McDonagh, Darragh O O’Shaughnessy and Anglim added points to propel us in to a 3-03 to 0-01 lead inside 15 minutes. Gavin Rushe then kicked two fine frees to send us in at half time 12 points infront. In the second half centre forward Brooklyn Delahunty clicked in to gear helping himself to 2-03 with Rory Moran and Cillian Murphy netting two further goals as we ran out comfortable winners.

Our under 12 hurlers took part in the inaugural Diarmuid Barron Memorial Cup on Sunday along with visitors St Kierans, Templeglantine and Kilacolla Gaels in Askeaton. Four very entertaining and evenly contested games took place with St Kierans emerging winners of the Diarmuid Barron Cup and ABK Desmonds winning the Shield Final.
In a closely fought semi final St Kierans defeated ABK Desmonds on a scoreline of 3-03 to 1-02. This win for St Kierans set them up for a final against Templeglantine which they won on a scoreline of 1-06 to 0-08.
The Shield Final was a thrilling encounter which saw us come back from a 2-03 to 0-00 deficit at half time to win in a welter of an excitement on a scoreline of 1-08 to 2-03 and claim the Shield. Afterwards Mikey Barron presented St Kierans Captain Dylan O’Connor with the Diarmuid Barron Cup and presented our captain Oisin O’Connor with the Shield.
Thanks to all teams for travelling and a big thank you to the Barron family for sponsoring such a fine cup in memory of our former player and club man Diarmuid.
