Craobh Rua Camlocha Sinsir / Seniors
Castleblayney 5.13 Craobh Rua Camlocha 3.10.
The seniors travelled to Castleblayney this week and despite the severe weather conditions took part in what was a very entertaining game of hurling. With a strong wind at their back Blayney forged ahead and at the break seemed out of sight of the visitors. In the second half Craobh Rua started at a blistering rate and pinned the hosts into their half of the field for most of twenty minutes. However Blayney weathered the elemental and sporting storms to ease home in the last five minutes. This week Craobh Rua seniors face Killeavey in the Armagh league on Tuesday night.
Faoi 16,18 / U16s / U18s
There is a break in fixtures owing to exam pressures but team coach Sean Mac Diarmada will be in touch this week with the panel to work out suitable arrangements to bridge this busy period.
Faoi 14 / Under 14s
Our U14s travelled to Middletown and recorded a useful win over the home side. The game was a hard fought affair with Middletown’s Na Fianna making the best of a strong wind in the first half to open up a 5 point gap at the interval. However, the Camloch boys really rose to the task in the second half with a spirited display of hooking and blocking coupled with some fine scores, much to the surprise of the local spectators. Na Fianna did have a chance to steal the game almost on the final whistle but were denied by Craobh Rua custodian Pearse Mc Glade who saved brilliantly from almost point blank range. Craobh Rua Camlocha hurlers included: Eoin Donaghy , Ruairí Fearon, James Mc Verry, Patrick Garvey, Óisín Cooney, Shea Craven, Pearse Mc Glade, Ronan Crilly, Peter McVerry, Oisin Fearon,Cormac Feeley,Cailum Craven, Conor Mc Keown, Shea Craven, Cormac Murphy, Lee Mc Keown, Tiarnán O Hare. All under 14s please note that we have a home league game against Cú Chulainns this Monday night at 7pm. The match will be played at St Paul’s school pitch.
Faoi 12 / Under 12s
The U12 league continued this week and our U12s were involved in a very competitive game at home against Middletown. As with the above senior and U14 games the wind was still blowing and whilst by half time the Fianna boys had opened up a healthy lead it was always a doubt if they had done enough. In the second half the Camloch boys went all out and their mentors Fiachra Bradley, Pearse Casey and Paul Watters could only be impressed with the efforts of their charges who put in what proved a match winning performance in challenging conditions. U12 training continues on Monday and Thursday evenings at 6.30pm.
Faoi 8,10 / Under 8, 10s
Training continues this Monday evening at 6.30pm. We were disappointed to have had to cancel our First Blitz for this group on Saturday past as a result of severe weather predictions but we understand the position that the organisers were in with teams travelling some distance. The Blitz will be re-arranged asap.
