Under-12A Hurling Championship

Clarinbridge 4-5 | Athenry 1-2

Clarinbridge started their 2004 campaign with a fine win over Athenry in Raheen, Athenry, on Monday evening. Weather conditions were not ideal, but, the players overcame this minor setback and went about their business in the second half, scoring at crucial times to earn a well deserved win.

Team: 1. Ciaran Niland | 2. Joseph Niland | 3. Gerard Cormican | 4. Peter McKeown | 5. Shane Heavey | 6. Cathal O'Brien | 7. Thomas Jakeman | 8. Cian Coughlan | 9. Jack Cahill | 10. Seán McKeown | 11. Christopher Bannon | 12. Billy Lane | 13. Michael Stankard | 14. Mark Doyle | 15. Shane [Bonty] Mannion.

Congratulations to Liam and the lads – an excellent start to the Championship.

Missing Club Items

It's a shame that the Club has to fork out a further €350 for another banner for the Féile when there is already a beautiful banner, belonging to the Club, left under someone's bed or behind a door in someone's house in the Parish. Also missing: a very large draw box for raffles. Someone must know where these items are. Please contact Club officers if you are aware of their whereabouts.
