TEAM NEWS
Results:
Result: St. Canice's Credit Union County Hurling League Division 1
Dicksboro 3-17 to 1-17 O'Loughlin Gael
Result: U13 Roinn A Hurling League
Dicksboro 1-7 to 3-11 O'Loughlin Gaels
A well organised first half performance saw the visiting young 'Gaels put a very healthy 2-9 to 0-1 score up by the break. Orestas Balsys again proving his worth scoring the 1st of his brace of goals during that period. Eoghan O'Brien had 1-1 on the scoreboard within a few minutes putting the lads in the right frame of mind. Man of the match Aaron Maher alongside midfielder Luke Hanrahan steered this team to a winning performance. And the defensive unit of Jack Johnson, Brandon wall and Eoghan Bennett kept the assaults on Michael Lambert's goal to a minimum. The second half brought an expected backlash from the home side that unsettled the Gaels. A bit if pressure was absorbed however and these league points came away with the Gaels. Well done to all the boys. Lovely hurling
