Senior
In the quarter-final of the North championship we have been drawn against Kiladangan. The County League continues on this Sunday, 28th April with an away game against Borris-Ileigh at 2.00pm.
Junior
For the second successive game MacDonaghs had to be content with a share of the points in the League. On this occasion they scored 2-17 in reply to Templederry’s 1-20 in their encounter in Kenyon Park. The home side controlled the game in the first half and led by 1-13 to 0-9 at the break MacDonaghs hurled much better in the second half with the defence keeping a tight rein on the Templederry forwards. Goals from James Williams and Cormac Mannion in the 20th and 21st minutes turned a five-point deficit into a one-point lead. Points from Conor Doheny (free) and Cormac Mannion extended the gap to three. However, in an extended period of added time Templederry drew level and the spoils were shared.
Best wishes to Robert Austin who suffered an accidental injury in the final moments of the game. He was detained overnight in Limerick Hospital with broken ribs. The next round of the League will be at home to Knockshegowna on this Saturday, 27th April at 7.00pm.
