IHC, Shamrocks 2-13, Stradbally 4-12.
Shamrocks completed their group games in the Intermediate Championship with a 5 point loss to Stradbally in the Dungarvan Club Grounds last Sunday week. Despite lining out without the services of Colm Roche, J.P. Lucey, Joe Leahy, Tommy O’ Donovan, and Padraig Ahearne, Shamrocks took the game to Stradbally, taking the lead in the second half, but a couple of late goals gave the seasiders a five point win which was a bit flattering. Fielding a relatively young team, with Tom Roche lining out for his first start, Shamrocks conceded two early goals, but a purple patch saw them take the lead, but late scores from Stradbally saw them lead 2-7 to 1-7 at half time. We started the second half well, and had taken the lead with a well taken goal, but Stradbally equalised almost immediately, and finished the stronger. So the position is we have won 1, drawn 1, and lost 1, and by my reckoning we should be playing Ballysaggart in the quarter final, whenever that will take place. Let’s hope we have a full squad to choose from then. Panel; Ciaran O’ Keeffe, Tom Roche, Adam Crawford, Brian Harnedy, Padraig Roche, Shane Roche, Cathal Herlihy, Billy Hynes, Edward Lonergan, Stevie Lucey, Shane Harnedy,Edward Hynes, Kelvyn O’ Farrell, Kieran Crawford, Eoin Murphy, Liam Motherway, Ivan O’ Neill, Thomas Goulding, Alan Kelly, Eamonn Forbes.

U-21 Football Final.
Cois Bhride were to play Portlaw / Ballyduff Lower in the B county final last Sunday, but it was postponed because our opponents were unable to field a team. It’s anyone’s guess when that will be played now…

Junior Football.
Shamrocks play Kilgobinet this Saturday in the last group stage game. With two wins already, hopefully we can continue that streak. We will be without Colm Roche and John Paul Lucey who are in the U.S. on J1’s, so do come along to Cappoquin at 5.30pm and give them some support.

Community Games.
Well done to all our young Community Games teams who played in the Munster Semi Finals last Saturday in Limerick. In the U-12 hurling boys semi final, we lost to Kenmare, our U-14 girls football team lost to Fethard, while our U-12 girls football team beat Adare in the semi final, but unfortunately lost to Skibbereen in the Munster Final. Well done to all three teams and mentors Declan Butler, Brendan Ormonde, and Ciaran O’ Keeffe.

Committee meeting.
Shamrocks have a full committee meeting tonight ( Wednesday ) at 9pm in the Shamrock Inn.
