MUNSTER GAA HURLING JUNIOR CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP: Our lads bowed out of the Munster Championship last Sunday with a loss to Ballygiblin, full time score in Kildorrery, Caherline: 0-10(10), Ballygiblin: 1-9(12). Caherline played into a strong breeze in the first half, and it was Ballygiblin who led by a single point at half time. With the breeze in the second half, we found it tough to get the ball to hand at times, the Ballygiblin backs winning an awful lot of dirty ball and clearing their lines well. They scored the only goal of the game 10 mins into the second half and kept their noses in front for the rest of the game. With a bit of luck in front of goal, who knows what might have happened, but it was not to be our day. All that being said, what an incredible season it has been for our club - County Junior A Champions, another trophy won in the Brian Butler Cup and Intermediate status for 2022 - excellent credit must go to all the players for the effort they put in this year, as well as the great work Damien, Paddy, Pa Jr & Snr and Johnny put in.
AGM 2021: Our main Club AGM will take place on Tuesday December 21st at 8pm via MS Teams. The main Club AGM is the most important meeting of the year, and every effort should be made to attend.
