JCHC, Shamrocks 3-9, Melleray 2-15.
Shamrocks Junior hurlers fell to their second defeat in the championship last Sunday in Ballyduff when a late (slightly dubious) goal gave the monastery men the win. Shamrocks started well with early goals from Eamonn Forbes giving us a good start, but gradually Melleray came more into the game. The loss of Liam Dalton to a knee injury didn’t help our cause, and we wish Liam a full recovery. Intermediate player Joe Leahy has been recovering from a serious knee injury, and he played for the junior team as part of his recovery, having been regraded. It was also good to see Thomas Goulding line out again in the jersey. The junior team play the fourth round next Sunday 20th May in Ardmore versus An Rinn at 6pm.
Darkness into Light.
Knockanore will hold it’s own “Darkness into Light” walk in aid of Pieta House next Saturday morning starting at 5 o’clock AM from The KGK Hall. We were unable to hold the walk last Saturday like the other events around the country because it clashed with First Holy Communion, so we are doing it this Saturday. All donations will go directly to Pieta House. All are welcome.
Brideview Drama Group just pipped in Athlone.
We send our congratulations to local Drama Club Brideview who placed second in the All Ireland Drama finals in Athlone last Saturday with their excellent production of “Stolen Child”. This was all the more impressive as it was their first time ever getting to an open final, and they came really close to winning the ultimate prize. Well done to all in the club.
Bill Ronayne RIP.
Shamrocks CLG would like to offer our deepest sympathies to Eleanor and the Ronayne family, Templevalley, Curraglass, on the sad passing of Bill last week. Eleanor is the Principal of Knockanore NS, and a great supporter of GAA in the school. Ar dheis De go raibh a anam.
