County Leagues
Our good start to the county leagues continued last week with both our hurling teams recording good victories. On Friday, the Seniors travelled to Roanmore and came away with a 2-16 to 1-12 victory whilst on Sunday morning in our own field the Junior’s overcame Colligan by 6 points, 1-18 to 0-15. The final games in the league section will take place on Tuesday 20th July (Senior away to Tallow) and Wednesday 21st July (Junior away to Ballydurn).This week it’s back to football as the Seniors have a home fixture with Gaultier on Thursday 15th at 19.30 and the Intermediates entertain Rathgormack on Sunday at 12.00.
Intercounty
The Waterford U-20 footballers scored a superb victory over Clare last Thursday and we’d like to extend our heartiest congratulations to all involved, especially to our own lads Colin Foley and DJ Kiely. Next up is a trip to Thurles on Thursday to take on Tipperary in the Muster Semi Final. Best of luck to all involved.
Also, in action this week were the U-20 hurlers who played Tipperary on Monday evening. Obviously at time of writing we don’t know the result, but hopefully we can report on a positive result next week. Michael Kiely is on the panel and Shane Briggs a member of the management team.
Following defeat to Clare the Senior hurlers begin their journey through the Qualifiers with a game in Nowlan Park this Saturday at 14.00. Hopefully, we can get out season back on track and we wish the best of luck to all involved and in particular to our own lads, Conor, Neil and Michael.
