Hurlers finish the year in style
It was only fitting that we have a broad representation of the club hurling fraternity in action for our 23rd Annual St Stephens Day Hurling - from Eamon McLoughney U11 to Pat Kennedy(1965 minor) and many shapes and sizes in between. It was a smashing bright morning but very hard and slippery underfoot and it was a blessing that we escaped without any injuries. A number of footballers chanced their arm today - a stylishly dressed Aiden Relihan, a fit looking Rory Costello (out of Africa I believe), Peter O'Byrne impressed and more.

Leonard played the first half at full forward and the second half at fullback - was that part of the grand plan or would he not make the long journey to the other end at the break. To be fair, he played well for the hour. Stephen Keogh, Kevin McLoughney and Kevin O'Flynn bridged the gap from U16 and all looked comfortable, Keogh very much so. Eoin Kennedy, U13 (the fourth of that family playing today) marked the younger McLoughney while the retirees were also represented by the sprightly Anthony Cooney (pretty handy when he warmed up). Of course, many of the usual suspects starred, the Hayes, Rooneys, Morris', Kennedys, Flahertys, Paul Christie, Ciaran Murray, Paul Rafferty - was this a comeback!. Well done to all.
