DEFEAT FOR JUNIOR HURLERS
Last Saturday afternoon March 21st our Junior hurlers got their 2026 league campaign underway when they faced Ballyclough away in their opening round of the Avondhu division two hurling league. Kilworth started well in this encounter and led by 4 points to 1 in the early stages, but Ballyclough then started to stamp their authority on proceedings and pushed ahead to lead by 2-12 to 0-08 at the interval. Upon the restart, the green and yellow coloured home side hit the ground running and ultimately went on to win convincingly on a final scoreline of 4-25 to 0-13.
Team and scorers: Sean Beecher, Conor Hynes, John Horgan, Kieran Twomey, Darragh Sheehan, Denis Riordan 0-01, Aaron Browne, Michael O’Callaghan 0-06 (2-f), Michael Lenihan, Jason McCarthy, Brian Casey, Sean O’Flynn 0-01, Olann McCarthy-O’Donoghue 0-04 (1-f), Ben Carey, & Anthony Sheehan 0-01. Substitutes: Evan Donnellan, & Darragh Gill.
