Week Ending 25th May 2008
The greatest congregation of Crokes hurling people was to be found in O’Moore Park, Portlaoise, on Sunday 25th May. Playing their part in the Dubs Leinster Senior Hurling Championship quarter final victory over Westmeath were clubmen Niall Corcoran, James Burke and Ross O’Carroll. Niall produced a confident and committed corner back performance while James and Ross accounted for 1-1 and 0-2 respectively. For full report click HERE. The Dubs face Wexford in the Leinster semi final on Saturday 14th June in Nowlan Park Kilkenny.

U10's, 11's and 12's play in Cork, Limerick and Kilkenny!
The large Crokes contingent converged on the midlands venue from Dublin and the country to where three squads had ventured over the weekend. The under 10’s took part in the Newtownshandrum Tournament in Co. Cork on Saturday and overnighted in Charleville. The under 11’s took two teams to Freshford and played the locals as well as Ballyragget. The under 12’s (two teams) were guests of Monaleen in Limerick for a blitz.
