LUACH MAIGH/CAISLEAIN LAIGHNIGH C.L.C.G.
Senior Hurling League: On Sunday last in the blistering heat of a Templetuohy venue our senior hurlers matched their previous week’s scoring spree, this time with a 5-20 to 1-14 victory over Kildangan in division one County league.
A whirlwind start that yielded 1-04 within seven minutes laid the foundation for this victory and while we are not foolish enough to believe that championship fare will come as easy it was nonetheless a pretty good performance overall from the team.
Our thanks to the Templetuohy club for the use of their excellent facilities for this game. Our remaining games in this competition are v J K Brackens and Portroe, games we must win to reach the final.
Fixture Schedule: Presently we have to focus on the senior football open draw replay game v Clonmel Commercials whish is fixed for Tuesday evening June 1st. Training on this Wednesday and Friday night is most important for every player to attend.
We then have two hurling games v J K Brackens and Upperchurch in the Mid championship.
Best of Luck: We wish Noel McGrath the very best of luck in Cork on Sunday next.
Sympathy: On behalf of the senior and juvenile club we extend our sympathy to the O’ Dwyer family, Lisheenataggart on the passing of a great supporter Johnny over the weekend. His son Patrick was a previous sponsor of the club. Also to the Cowan family, Templetuohy and Borrisoleigh on the passing of Michael, who wore the club colours in the sixties when we were amalgamated in minor and U/21 with Templetuohy. May they Rest in Peace.
