Week Ending 21st February 2010

Wednesday 17th February 2010 brought an end to 2009 hurling business as the seniors defeated Naomh Fionnbarra by 2-17 to 0-11 at Inisfails’ grounds in Balgriffin. This was a must win game for the club. With Kevin O’Loughlin scoring freely and Ronan Walsh not far behind him in his impact on the game the business was done and the spectre of relegation to Division 2 staved off. For report see HERE

On Sunday 21st February 2010 in Silverpark Crokes opened their 2009 Corn Ceitinn account with a 0-12 to 0-7 victory over Na Fianna. For Evening Herald report see http://www.herald.ie/sport/hurling/kilmacud-strength-in-depth-definitive...

The under 16’s travelled to Ballygunner for a morning challenge against the locals. At the end of a useful first outing of the year the Crokes lads were 4-10 to 1-9 to the good, having led 2-6 to 0-5 at the break. To the fore for the visitors were Conor Sweeny, Daibhid Corish, Philip O’Shea, Andrew Colclough, Robert Murphy, Caolan Conway, Kevin James McGowan and Neil Gorey. Afterwards Ballygunner provided hospitality for the visitors for which we were extremely grateful.

Squad: C Sweeny, P O’Shea, D Corish, M Collins, CJ O’Dwyer, R Murphy, J Murphy, M Geraghty, R McGowan, C Gormley (0-1), KJ McGowan, C Conway (2-6), N Gorey (2-1), B Horan, C Devins (0-1), T Barry, M McNicholas, L O’Sullivan, A Colclough and M Herlihy (0-1)
