O’LOUGHLIN’S HURLING NEWS
After three games in this year’s St. Canices Credit Union Senior Hurling League O’Loughlin Gaels share top of the table in Group A after an unbeaten run. They hadn’t got it all their own way as Carrickshock had stormed ahead 0-10 to 1-1 after just 20minutes but the reigning Champions hauled back the deficit and managed to go to the break two points to the good helped by a fortunate goal from a Mark Bergin free. The Second half the lads showed a little more composure but couldn’t shift the challenge until the closing moments of the game when three unanswered points guaranteed maximum points. There’s a bit of a break now to round four when the St. John’s faithful will look forward to the remainder of the campaign. Well done to all involved.
