We beat Athenry in the Junior C Hurling Quarter Final by 2.10 to 1.6 on Sunday evening last. Annaghdown advance to the semi finals of this competition after a hard fought victory played in difficult conditions. Athenry were a tough outfit and never gave up but great defending from all our backs and superb finishing from the stick of Ciaran O’Connor insured a good victory. We lead at half time by 1-4 to 0-1 with Tom Burke scoring a goal and a point after being switched from midfield to corner forward. Annaghdown started the second half well with O’Connor striking some good frees but a tonic goal for Athenry put Annaghdown on the back foot but O’Connor collected a ball soon after and crashed home a cracker to give the team some breathing space. Team was: Padjoe Fahy, Eoin Murtagh, Kenny Leonard, Marc Connaughton, Reggie Burke, Carl Leonard, John King, Vivian Silke, Thomas Burke (Capt.)(1-1), Rob Mulryan, Pa Murphy, Ciaran OConnor(1-9, 0-7 frees), Aidan Connaughton, Christy Burke and Ronnie Newell.
