Our U14 Hurlers put in an excellent performance against Ballyea last Friday before eventually losing by 3-13 to 2-11. Following the results from all of Friday’s matches, Ballyea, Corofin/Ruan and Scariff/Ogonnelloe have now qualified for the semi-finals. Clooney/Quin and Newmarket have finished on equal points and will meet on this Friday evening in a play-off to join the other three. It was agreed to toss for venue for this tie and The Blues got the lucky call. Consequently, the play-off match will take place in Newmarket with a throw-in time of 7pm. These two sides are very evenly matched, and, of course, it was a late goal that gave the visitors a share of the spoils when the teams met at Hennessy Park at the start of the campaign. It’s unlikely that there will be much between the sides this week either. So, a sizeable travelling support might make the difference!
