Premier Intermediate Hurling Championship V Ballysaggart
They say goals win matches and unfortunately we were at the receiving end of that statement on Saturday evening in our final group game against Ballysaggart. The opening quarter of the game was as expected, with both sides not giving much to their opposition. Points from Padraig, Tom, Ed and Chris made sure there was little between the sides. A goal midway through the first half gave Ballysaggart breathing space but we responded well through Shane and Ivan. Another goal conceded was responded with minors from Padraig, Tom and Steven and we trailed at half time by 2-12 to 0-9. We started the second half well with an opportunistic goal by Padraig and further points by Ed and Tom. However Ballysaggart being led by their intercounty men, responded with goals and points making it difficult to narrow the gap sufficiently. As always our lads responded and points from Tom, Ivan and Padraig kept our lads going to the final whistle. In the end Ballysaggart were fully deserving of their victory where they won 4-21 to 1-16. Despite being down a few regulars, we played well in a lot of patches in the game. Another thing which will please management was there was a large spread of scorers on our part. With the group stages now complete, we now play Clashmore/Kinsalebeg in the county quarter final in 2 weeks. Team: L Murphy, Stephen Roche, Ivan O’Neill, Mike Lucey, Mike O’Neill, Shane Roche, Billy Hynes, Sean Meaney, Tom Dalton, Liam Motherway, Padraig Hynes, Ed Lonergan, Chris Murphy, Steven Lucy, Kieran Crawford

Sympathies
The club would like to offer our condolences to Alan and John Anthony Kelly and their family on the death of their Aunt, Patricia Power. We would also like to sympathise with Peter Power and his family on the death of his wife Mary.
