Report Week Ending 24th April 2011
The calm before the storm. With
- The National Hurling League Final (Sun 1 May)
- Punchestown (3 May)
- The First Round of the Senior Hurling Championship (Wed 11 May), and
- The Dublin Feile na nGael Finals (15 & 16 May)
on the horizon this was one of the last quiet playing weeks for some time.
The only teams in action were the intermediates and the under 14B’s and A’s.
Continuing their championship preparations the intermediates took on St Patricks from Wicklow in Silverpark on Thursday 21st April 2011. At the end of a worthwhile game Crokes won 2-18 to 1-10, having trailed 1-7 to 1-6 at the interval. For report see HERE
The under 14 squads drew the curtain down on their jaunt to Cork with games on Monday 18th April 2011 against Carrigtwohill and Killeagh respectively. Against the former, at 10am, the B’s went down 7-9 to 2-10 (half time 4-8 to 0-4) with Hugh Campion, Oisin Doherty, Killian Lanigan and Joey Dalton to the fore. After lunch the two squads reached Killeagh where the A’s prevailed 4-19 to 3-5, having been up 3-7 to 1-2 at the break. Starring were Cathal Keane, Darragh Butler and Killian Lanigan.
