Feakle hurlers got their senior hurling championship campaign off to a winning start on Saturday and for some of their players it was the completion of a very successful week on the sports front.
Winners of the title for the past two years, St Josephs Miltown head into the 2020 campaign hoping to retain the Jack Daly cup.
While “winning is nice, teams that win their first round game are unlikely to get too excited”.
There was a keen contest for the highly anticipated Young Trophy in Kilrush Golf Club over the weekend.
As they complete their preparations for Saturday’s clash with Whitegate at O’Garney park in Sixmilebridge, Feakle manager Mike Guilfoyle is under no illusions as to the task his side is facing.
“The reality of the situation is so fluid that one can only look at the first game. We are delighted to be back hurling. Nobody knows what way things will be in a month’s time. We are all delighted there is hurling, as the community revolves around the GAA club”.
A stellar lineup of games are on the cards in the opening round of the Clare SHC, Cratloe’s first outing against Kilmaley is certainly among them.
O’Callaghans Mills justfied favouritism when scoring a two point win on Saturday afternoon but the defeated Broadford have reason to be disappointed as they had opportunities to record a victory over their neighbours.
Cratloe’s recent dominance over Kilmaley was extended at Cusack Park on Saturday evening when the South Clare men got their senior championship campaign off to a winning start.
