Due to the Council event to recognise last years Under 16 team, there will be no minor hurling League game this Wednesday night. Management will keep the panel informed of upcoming games and training.
Under 16
Our under 16 team got this years Armagh League up and running when the faced Armagh city side Cuchullain's. The game was played in good spirits with both sets of players showing off some excellent hurling skills. The Cuchullain's forwards ability to take their scores was the telling factor in a game that ebbed too and fro. Cuan Mhuire work rate couldn't be faulted. The final score saw the Armagh city side win by a 2-16 to 3-02 score line.
Craobh Rua under 16 team will travel to Portaferry on Sunday the 6th of May to face them in the league
Under 14
Craobh Rua Under 14 team fell to Ballygalget in their Down Hurling League game. The match played at St Pauls was a tough and tight encounter. The superior finishing of the Ballygalget forward line eventually saw them claim an 8.6 to 3.3 victory.
This Monday night we travel to Killeavy and on Friday night our Under 14 team make the trip to Ballycran.
Under 12
Our young hurlers played a very entertaining game against Seán Treacy's Lurgan. It was a mighty effort by the entire panel and despite loosing the game, there were many positives to take from it. This Thursday Craobh Rua Under 12 team will travel to Armagh to take on Cuchullains.
