Our Junior B Hurlers made it 3 wins from 4 with a victory over Murrow Boher last Tuesday night. In what were lovely conditions for hurling, we lead at the break on a score line of 14 points to 9. The second half turned out to be a lot closer than our performance deserved but for our very high wide count. We ran out 3-point winners in the end. Our last group game takes place on the weekend of the 18th of May against Mungret. Win that game and we should be well placed to make the City East League Final.
