Newtownshandrum (4-10) vs Midleton GAA (2-11)
Midleton, 19:30PM
Midleton 2-11 Newtownshandrum 4-10
On Saturday evening last our Senior hurlers entertained Killeagh in the League. It was a blustery evening for hurling. Midleton appeared to have first use of the wind and started well. Howvever the concession of two goals meant that at half time our visitors led by 2-06 to 1-08. We started the second half strongly with a good goal from Pa Whyte and after ten minutes led by 2-10 to 2-07. However we lost our way somewhat after that. Killeagh goaled from a twenty yard free and followed it up with another goal . We struggled to gain a foothold against the wind. This was not helped when we were reduced to 14 players. In the end Killegah held out for a comfortable win. It was another disappointing loss in the League. Again we were short a number of players and it showed. The Championship is coming up on June 10th so it will be heads down for the next three weeks as the mentors and players finalise their preparations.
