Congratulations to our senior footballers who defeated Aherlow in Dundrum last Saturday to get off the mark in the county championship. After a slow start a Conor Fahey goal on 23 minutes saw us to a 4 point lead at half time. And we kicked on from there outscoring our opponents 9 points to 2 in the second half with the final score 1-11 to 0-3. In the other group game Kilsheelan and JK Brackens payed out a draw. This leaves JK Brackens & Kilsheelan on 3 points, Upperchurch on 2 and Aherlow on 0 heading into the final round of games. We will play JK Brackens on Sunday August 23rd at 4pm in The Ragg.

MINOR HURLING
The minor hurlers continue to put on very strong displays in the mid championship. Last Wednesday they defeated Gortnahoe-Glengoole 3-17 to 1-11 thanks in part to goals from Pat Ryan. It was Gortnahoe that did a lot of the early running but our lads dug in and narrowed the margin approaching half time before proving too strong in the second half. Next Wednesday we face Moycarkey-Borris in the final group game at 7:30pm in Littleton. We currently sit top of the group on 6 points.
