Raheny 2-10 Round Towers 3-13.
The Junior hurlers got their league campaign off to a positive start with a hard earned victory away to Raheny on Sunday the 15th.
With 19 players togging out thanks in no small part to the persuasive powers of Fergal McDonagh the day started out on a positive note.
With a mixture of young players such as Darren Gilligan to more experienced campaigners like Connie Ryan the team had a balanced look to it from the start .
Playing against a strong wind in the first half Towers goalie John Delany very much kept his team in it while the forwards managed to get a few opportunist scores.
At half time we trailed by 1-9 to 2-3. The second half was very much one way traffic as we piled on the scores with Niall Corless in particular putting in a storming second half.
Despite the concession of 1-1 in the last few minutes we finished with a six point victory.
Overall a very positive start to the league campaign with a good team performance all round.
Training will be on this Wednesday at probably 8pm in Monastery(to be confirmed).As usual we welcome any new players whether they are locals who haven’t hurled in a few years or lads new to the area .
Also a word of congratulations to Donnacha Rafferty and his wife Karen on the birth of baby Sean. As a son of a stalwart of the hurling section no doubt Sean will be down at the nursery within a few years.
