Our next game was against Barefield in Gurteen. In our heads this wasn’t going to be easy but when we got out onto the pitch we started off nicely with a score line at the end of 5-11 to 1-3.Man of the match was Joey Keane scoring 4-1 and assisted the fifth goal scored by Diarmuid O Halloron. Our third game was important to secure a semi-final place. We played Ruan in Ruan and beat them by 5-15 to 1-2.This was an easy game and we had secured a semi-final place. Next we played Ballyea in Ballyea and we beat them well and now we are preparing for the semi-final. We went down to Gurteen for our semi-final against Quin.We all had a great game. We won by two points and now play Feakle in the final. We played Feakle in the final and won 5-9 to 2-1 .What an emphatic win at long last.

Hurling Final – Cusack Park – June 18th: Our first match was against Ballyea and we won it well. Our second match was against Broadford away. We knew this would be a tough match as they had won the mini 7’s competition. It was!! But we won it by 6 points. Our last match was against Barefield which also won. We were now into a semi-final which took place in Feakle against Feakle. This was quite an easy game and we were now into the hurling final in Cusack Park. We were very upset after the Feakle game that we didn’t get ice creams off Mr Curran, but he will make up for it after the final !!!!!
