Hurling Blitz;

Hurling Blitz; May 2023!

A showery blustery day in Caherelly for the annual 9 - aside blitz. Two teams from the group of 6 to qualify for the final in a few weeks. There was a strong breeze blowing, so we knew it was going to be a game of two halves.

First up, local rivals; Bilboa. Bilboa had the wind and started well with a couple of goals scored in quick succession. However the boys never lost heart and kept defending strongly. In the second half, the puck outs had greater distance and gave the forwards more opportunities to score. In the end, it was Bilboa's day.

Next up was Oola. Weather conditions were still blustery. The team started well and this time it was Tineteriffe who scored the opening goals. A change in personnel and all members of the squad participated in the win.

This meant that we qualified for the semi-final in second place and had to play the winners of the other group. Caherelly were the opposition. Tineteriffe started well and fought for every ball. Howver Caherelly began to get the upperhand and in the end victory was theirs.

Bilboa and Caherelly therefore will meet in the final

Tineteriffe boys though defeated went home delighted with their efforts and happy to have had the day out!!
