Hurling news
In what has become an annual end of season
event for the hurlers, the Under 25 hurlers
played the over 25 hurlers in a challenge
game in St Malachy’s park. A total squad
of 33 turned up for the entertaining game.
The ‘old’ hurlers of the club
showed their skill to beat the young fellas
in a hotly contested match in St. Malachy’s
Park in Castlewellan on Saturday 15th September
ending the match on a scoreline of 5-8 to
0-14. Player of the match was Justy Morgan
who scored some brilliant points, Stephen
Croskery who collected the old boot trophy
on behalf of the old hands, made some fantastic
saves in the senior goal. Gary Cairns who
is threatening to hang up the boots, made
his job that bit easier by keeping the young
fellas at bay, by whatever means necessary!!
The G.H. proved to all that he is still fit
and well. The biggest surprise of the day
was John “Jap” Trainor, lining
out in goals for the under 25’s, It’s
a long time since you were 25 John! After
the game, the lads enjoyed a meal and the
night was finished of in the clubrooms with
“A night at the races”. Overall
the day was a runaway success and the hurlers
would like to thank everyone who helped make
the day the success it was. See club website
for photos.
