Edenderry Junior Hurlers began their 2013 Championship on Sunday morning with a long trip to Rath to take on Seir Kieran in the Junior A Champonship.
Seir Kieran proved too strong for the Reds team to handle and they came away the wrong side of a 10 point margin.
Edenderry will have further games in which to recover however improvements will need to be made if they are to reach the knock out stage of the championship.
