SENIOR HURLING
Last weekend the senior hurlers had a convincing 14 point victory over JK Brackens in the county championship on a scoreline of 3-18 to 0-13 with Pat Shortt scoring all 3 goals. The victory leaves us on 3 points in the group with only 1 fixture left against Drom & Inch. A win or draw in the game will see us top the group and qualify for the county quarter finals while a defeat will see us finish 3rd and needing to win the mid title to progress. The quarter final of the mid championship againats Loughmore-Castleiney has been fixed for the June bank holiday weekend. Our next fixture is in the county challenge cup quarter final against Nenagh Éire Óg on Friday 20th in Drombane.

The final group game vs Thurles Gaels is due to go ahead next Thursday in Drombane at 7:30.
