Our senior hurlers recorded their first win in this year’s County senior hurling league with a deserving 0-3 win away to Ballyduff on Saturday March 24th.

Despite an early goal by the impressive throughout Kealan Daly, we trailed at half time by 0-12 to 1-8. An early second half goal by Cormac Curran from a Kealan Daly pass negated Eoghan Murray’s litany of pointed frees  while Cormac himself was also o target from placed balls.

We led by 0-1 at the end of normal time and further scores by Kealan Daly and Cormac Curran secured our first brace of league points. Kevin Daly continued his return to form in defence where Jamie Nagle gave a man of the match performance in  a sector that gave little away easily.

Jack Lacey laid a claim for a starting place on the championship fifteen while Cormac Curran led the attack with 1-9 to his credit.

Cormac Curran 1-9(7f), Kealan Daly 1-2, Cathal Curran 0-4, Jamie Nagle 0-2, Sean Crotty 0-1.
