Club Notes: 15th April 2014

Junior Football, Shamrocks 3-4, Colligan 1-6.
Shamrocks got their Junior Football Championship off to a winning start with a four point win over the team that beat us in the Western Final last year, Colligan Emmets. We started well with an early goal from Jamie Murphy, Emmets then dominated for a time scoring three points, but a second goal from Padraig Ahearne left the half time score 2-1 to 0-4, the point coming from Jamie Murphy. Emmets dominated largely after the break but found the Shamrocks defence hard to break down. A misplaced pass led to a goal for the Western champions to put them into the lead for the first time, but in fairness to the Shamrocks they broke up the field to land two points from evergreen Liam Dalton and Nat Smith, who then put the issue beyond doubt with a well taken goal in the last minute. For the record each team recieved a black card each, Stevie Lucey gaining the dubious honour of being the first Shamrocks player ever back carded. The second round against Tallow took place last night (Tues) in Knockanore, full report next week.

Waterford minors win in Clare.
Congatulations to the Waterford minor hurlers who travelled to Ennis last Wednesday and came away with the spoils after a close game in the first round of the Munster championship. Minus some of their first choice players including our own Colm Roche through injury, they now advance to the semi-final where they will play either Tipp or the winners of Clare /Kerry.

Minor Footballers take on Tipp.
We wish the Waterford minor football team the best of luck against Tipperary in Fraher Field tonight (Wed). Adam Crawford is in the squad, we hope he gets a run.
