NO JOY FOR JUNIOR HURLERS
Last Thursday evening, April 9th, Kilworth’s junior hurlers took on Shanballymore in their second-round fixture of the Avondhu division two hurling league, which was played in Killavullen. Facing a strong cross-field wind in the opening half, Kilworth produced several fine passages of hurling against Shanballymore’s first-string side. Despite their positive display, they trailed at half-time, with the scoreline reading Kilworth 0-08, Shanballymore 1-14.
To their credit, Kilworth battled gamely throughout the second half and matched their opponents score for score after the interval. However, despite their determined effort, the red and black coloured side remained in control and ran out comfortable winners when referee Denis Motherway sounded the final whistle. Full-time score: Kilworth 1-12, Shanballymore 1-21.
Team and scorers: Sean Keane, Kieran Twomey, John Horgan, Conor Hynes, Brian Dunne 0-01, Michael O’Callaghan 0-02 (2-f), Aaron Browne, Sean O’Flynn 0-03, Ryan Jordan 1-00, Michael Lenihan 0-01, Anthony Sheehan 0-01, Jason McCarthy, Darragh Sheehan 0-01, Brian Casey, & Olann McCarthy-O’Donoghue 0-03 (2-f).
