UNDER 21 A HURLING
Our U-21 A hurlers drew with Carrigtwohill under lights in Carrigtwohill on Friday night on a final scoreline of 0-20 to 1-17. They will now play Bride Rovers in the semi-final on Saturday week, December 9 at 12pm. Venue to be confirmed.
UNDER 21 C HURLING CHAMPIONSHIP
Our U-21 C hurling team took on Carrignavar at Clonmult Memorial Park on Sunday morning in the East Cork Championship.
This was a very good game and in the end we very unlucky to lose out by eight points after a very competitive game. With three minutes to play we were within four points and chasing a goal to get us back into the game but Carrignavar finished strongly with a goal and a point to our point to run out 3-12 to 1-10 winners.
Fair play lads though who put up a great show against a strong first team of Carrignavar.
