JuniorHurling: Lorrha v Borris-Ileigh in Cloughjordan on Sunday, 29 July at 7.30pm.
Minor: Kildangan 0-11 Lorrha 0-15
The Lorrha minors secured an important victory in the Minor championship when they left Puckane with a four point win on Wednesday last. The final scoreline was a little to close for comfort as we had plenty of chances to make the ending a lot less nerve wracking.
Lorrha took a seven points to three lead to half time but that lead was cut in half soon after half time. But Lorrha responded well to all that Kildangan threw at them and held out for a four point win.
Team: Willie Maher; Conor Haugh, Diarmaid Mannion, Sean O’Meara; Andrew Hoctor, Graham Houlihan, Ciaran Duggan; Brendan Fogarty, Ciaran Haugh; Cian Hogan, Patrick Maher, Eoin O’Meara; David Fogarty, Brendan O’Brien, Sean Cleary.
