Clerihan u14’s v Cahir

We made the short trip to Cahir on Monday evening , Clerihan struggled to field a full team due to injuries and it showed against a stronger Cahir side, they battled on regardless and showed some fighting spirit with great effort put in by all the players, but it wasn’t to be their day . They eventually succumbed to the advances of the opposition but will live to fight another day.

Clerihan stretched their lead in the second half with scores from Rian Quigley with three points, two from the busy Cathal Ryan, and one from Cian Mullane to give Clerihan 0-11 to 0-5 lead going into the last few minutes. Ballingarry however responded with a goal to make the Clerihan lads sweat before Cian Mullane added another point to give Clerihan a 0-12 to 1-5 lead at the final whistle.

An under strength minor team lost to Carrick Davins in the opening game of the championship. Davins had a lot to spare at the finish and it must be said some basic errors throughout the field caused quite a few scores which in fairness to Davin’s were clinically dispatched.

But that does not do justice to Clerihans fighting spirit and they never gave up right up to the end.

Special mention the younger players making their minor debuts they put in tremendous shifts and if we can get some of the older players back we still could have a say in the championship. scorers on the day were Sean Hahessey 1 goal 2 pts . Conor Clancy 1pt. Shane Power 1pt. Rhys McMurrow. 1pt Rory Maher 1pt and

James Maher 1 goal also unlucky with 2 more efforts. Best wishes to Jake Hickey who sustained a broken arm during the game and James Maher who picked up a nasty hand Injury. Next game against Ballylooby Sunday next 12 noon Ardfinnan.

A scorching Monday evening saw our under 12 boys deplete the advances of the away team Kilenaule who put in a great effort but were easily beaten in the end. Our boys are going from strength to strength and hopefully they can keep it up for the season.

Our under 12 girls put in a great performance in the go games blitz in Newtownshandrum on Saturday. We played four games, winning three of them and narrowly losing the fourth game. Well done girls.

We want to thank everyone who put in the effort to make the trip down there.
