Our Junior A hurlers put in a supreme effort yesterday in their Co Hurling final in Oylegate but unfortunately stumbled at the final hurdle. It was a very tight game until the dying minutes when St Martins raised the green flag twice in close succession to claim the victory. Well done on a great season players and management.

Despite a controlled and impressive win over last year’s finalists Cloughbawn in our final group game of 2017 our Senior hurlers exit the championship safe from relegation but without reaching quarter final stage.  The men dominated the game and ran out victorious on a scoreline of 1-21 to 2-10 but two wins in the 2017 campaign were unfortunately not enough to see us through to the next stages. 

Our u11 hurlers had a great win over Faythe Harriers on Sunday last in Ferns Centre of Excellence in the u12 Shield final. Well done boys and management.

CAMOGIE
U12 camogie Team “Goliath” played away to Bunclody on Sunday morning in their second last game of the season. In what turned out to be a very competitive game, Bunclody scored a last minute goal to secure the win. This is the first match this season in which team Goliath have been defeated-an impressive record. The last match is against Kilrush, a win here will mean qualification for the County Finals.
Hard luck to our Junior camogie team beaten by Rapparees in Bellefield on Thursday evening.
Hard luck to our own Emma Dempsey and the Wexford u16 camogie team who unfortunately lost out in the All Ireland final on Sunday to Galway. The teams were level at half time but the opposition pulled away in the second half to win on a scoreline of 2-16 to 2-5. Reaching an All Ireland final is an incredible achievement for these very hardworking girls and we’re very proud of them all.

A presentation was made to Mary Roche to thank herself and Declan (The Sycamore House) for their 20 years of sponsorship and support.

LADIES FOOTBALL
Unfortunately Glynn/Barntown lost out to a very strong Mogue/O’Rahillys team in the County U16 Division 2 ladies football semi final in Gusserane,
on a score line of 5-3 to 2-3 on Thursday evening.
They conceded two early goals in the first half and were chasing the game from there on.
The opposition set up with a sweeper which proved difficult to break down.
In the second half the girls fought back bravely but it was not to be their night.
Well done to all 24 girls involved who at the end were very disappointed but there will be better days ahead. Thanks to manager Dave and his management team and to all the parents for their support.
