Junior Hurlers fine win in Championship
JHC Syls 4-14 Oliver Plunketts 1-4, In what we hope is a pre cursor for the Senior Football game, our Junior hurlers recorded an emphatic victory on Thursday night in their last group championship game. This was by far the teams most complete performance to date with no fewer than 10 players contributing their names to the scoresheet. We had 2 players in David Kennedy and Graham Morris celebrating their leaving cert results the night before and had reason to be nervous prior to throw in considering we drew with the same opposition in the league and we also knew a defeat would have eliminated us from the championship.
There were
many stand out performers, but MOTM on the night was Padraic Kennedy, who
fielded some great ball and recorded 1-1 from the middle of the park. Elsewhere
Johnny Conway was a constant threat up front and Paul Christie had another rock
solid performance at the back. Next up for this team is Clan na Gael away in
the quarter final scheduled for 10.30am on Sunday the 5th
of September.
