Under 10’s
The Under 10’s made the long journey to Ballyduff Upper for their tournament and they were in a very strong group from the outset with Fermoy , Carrigtohil and Bride Rovers all from East Cork . We started very cold against Carrigtohil in our first match losing out by a couple of points , after that we played against last year’s winners Bride Rovers and played some fantastic hurling to come out winners by 4 points , we then went into our last game v Fermoy who were unbeaten knowing a win was needed to qualify for next Saturday’s semi finals, unfortunately we came up short after a few near misses near the end it ended in a draw .The coaches were very proud of this young team who put in a huge effort for the last two games .
