Minor Football. Cois Bhride 7-7, Ballyduff 1-5.
Cois Bhride minor footballers played their first round of the minor football championship last Sunday in Knockanore, and were convincing winners in the end. After early points from Billy Hynes, Charlie Murphy got the first goal of the game, followed soon after by another goal from Darragh Buckley to give us a half time lead of 2-3 to 0-4. We continued where we had left off in the second half with further goals from Darragh, Liam Motherway, and Kieran Crawford to give us a comfortable win. Their next match will be on Sunday week. Well done to all.
Deag Ahearne Cup.
This tournament will take place on Saturday week in JFK Park, Knockanore, against old foes Erin’s Own. We are hoping to have the game around 4pm. More about this match next week.
Sympathies.
Shamrocks would like to sympathise with Mary Hickey Kilcockan, Knockanore, on the passing of her mother Catherine Keogh, Ardsallagh last week. Tom and all the Hickeys have lined out for the Shamrocks in recent years. Ar dheis De go raibh a anam.

Before this game, all the experts were saying Waterford had all the aces, we would ease into the quarter finals with a bit to spare. Cork didn’t read that script, however, and by the end of the game Cork were 8 point winners. I don’t know whether Waterford were complacent or overtrained, but they never looked like they were going to win this one. To be fair to Cork, they took all their chances with and against the wind, but Waterford were very flat. Though I thought Maurice Shanahan’s red card was extremely hard, the fact is Maurice allows himself to be drawn into these kind of situations too easily, which is something he must try to avoid. This result means we now need to get some kind of a result against Clare in Ennis, and that’s not an easy task.
