County Championship: The schedule of matches for the forthcoming Clean Ireland Recycling County Senior Hurling Championship were confirmed last week by the CCC – in the opening round Éire Óg will face the Templederry Kenyons, then Ballina and, finally, Clonoulty-Rossmore during the group stage of this year’s championship. The structure of the season would suggest that Éire Óg will face Toomevara in the opening round of the Hibernian Inn North Tipperary Senior Hurling Championship in May prior to the third round of the county senior hurling championship. The club will confirm the dates, times and venues for those encounters as soon as they become available.

 

Congratulations: Well done to Barry Heffernan and Donnacha Quinn who won the Fresher’s All-Ireland hurling title with the University of Limerick at Mallow on Thursday, March 5th. UL, managed by Limerick’s Gary Kirby, beat University College Cork after extra-time on a 1-24 to 1-18 scoreline.

 

Good Luck: Best wishes to Tommy Heffernan and Dáire Quinn who feature on the University of Limerick team which faces the Waterford Institute of Technology in the replayed Fitzgibbon Cup final on Wednesday, March 11th

(7.30pm) in Páirc Uí Rinn, Cork. The drawn final at Páirc na nGael, Limerick ended in a thrilling 3-12 to 0-21 stalemate after extra-time.
