Well done to the Junior ‘A’ hurlers who commenced their Junior ‘A’ Championship campaign last Friday in Shalee with an impressive 2-20 to 0-17 victory over Toomevara. The sides were level at half time, 1-10 to 0-13, with Eoin Meagher producing an excellent finish for the Kiladangan goal. Kiladangan had the better of the second half and enjoyed a three point lead going into the last ten minutes of the game. This lead was doubled on the 52nd minute with Conor Culhane scoring Kiladangan’s second goal after great set up play from Bill Cleary and Eoin Meagher. Kiladangan finished strongly to secure a nine point victory. Full teams, scorers and score tracker available on KiladanganGAA.com. Best wishes to Aidan Ryan and Darren Ryan who received injuries during the game.  The next round game will take place on Monday 24th June at 8.00 pm in Cloughjordan against Roscrea. 

With Kilruane MacDonaghs pulling out of the north championship creating lob sided groups (one group of five, one group of four and one group of three), the competing clubs in the championship met last Monday 17th June to revise the championship format. There was a vote taken amongst clubs and it was decided that the competition would be run on a two group of six format - with the top team in each group straight to the semi finals with second and third to the Quarter Finals. Round 1 will take place on Sunday 7th July. Group 1 is made up of Silvermines, Newport, Knockshegowna, Portroe, Borrisokane and Burgess whilst Group 2 contains Kiladangan, Ballina, Lorrha Dorrha, Toomevara, Templederry Kenyons and Moneygall. 

Best of luck to the Senior Hurlers who take on Borris-Ileigh in the North Quarter Final this Wednesday 19th June at 7.00 pm in MacDonagh Park Nenagh.
