We would like to express our immense pride in the achievements of the Burgess Duharra senior camogie team who captured their 6th successive county title in style at the weekend. We would like to wish them the best of luck in the Munster championship.

 

u21 Hurling:

Our u21’s travelled to Shallee on Sunday morning last and recorded a fine 0-18 to 0-12 win over Ballina. We hurled against the wind in slippery conditions our lads laid the foundations for the win with a great first half defensive performance. Well done lads.

Martin O’Leary tournament:

The u11 Martin O’Leary tournament took place on Saturday October 7th in Kilcolman with four teams taking part. Kilruane, Kiladangan, Portroe and our own boys. The event went off well with Kilruane running out deserving winners. We’d like to thank Kilruane Port and Kiladangan for taking part and all in the juvenile club who organised the event and provided refreshments on the day. Thanks also to our intercounty star Donagh Maher who presented the medals and thanks also to Martin’s son Aidan who presented the trophy.

Hard luck to our senior hurlers who were beaten by a late goal in Sundays county senior Hurling game v Mullinahone. The final score was 1-17 to 0-18. Our injury woes have increased with a shoulder injury to Stephen Murray and we also suffered a harsh red card for Brian Hogan. Our next senior outing is the North quarter final against Templederry at 2pm in Nenagh on Sunday June 11th. We are looking for big support for our lads again.

Junior B League:

Our juniors put in a good performance against Lorrha on Friday last but just ran out of legs in the second half and a strong Lorrha pulled away to finished 0-16 to 2-22.
