Craobh Rua senior hurling team were defeated by Keady in a recent McCormack Cup game by a 4-17 to 4-4 scoreline. It was a spirited display by the young side with Ryan Diamond and Brendan Nutley who was appearing in his first senior game performing well. Seasoned campaigners Mark Fleming and Paul Cunningham also give good contributions. This Tuesday night (6th) Craobh Rua travel to Sean Treacy's . All players travelling are asked to be at Clubrooms for 6pm.
Minors:
Our Minors played Keady on Friday night. They were unfortunate to give away early goals and spent the rest of the game trying to claw back the Keady lead. Despite the loss, it was a positive and promising display.
Underage
Our Underage teams continue to train on the allocated evenings. Many thanks to Carrickcruppen for their use of the top pitch on Wednesday evenings 6-30 to 8pm for our U12,U14,U16 squads.
Under 14
The under 14 team took on Middletown last week and both sides provided a great game for all present. Craobh Rua prevailed by a point on a score line of 4-09 to 5-05. The match started of at a frantic pace with both sides trying to stamp their authority on the game, during this time Patrick Quinn and Shay Craven repelled everything put their way, after this we got a foothold in the game and let by two points at half time, Jack Beattie and Cormac Murphy were to the fore in the first half. The second half was nip and tuck the whole way with Tiarnan O Hare and Sean Watters putting in a massive amount of work. Some beautiful hurling from Conor Quinn was also on show and all the subs made a good account of themselves in securing the win by the finest margin. Pierce Mc Glade, Shay Craven, Patrick Quinn, Tiarnach Lewis, Ronan Crilly, Cormac Murphy, Oisin Fearon, Tiarnan O Hare, Cailum Craven, Conor Quinn, Conor Mc Keown, Jack Beattie, Niall Mc Ginn, Sean Watters, Tom Trainor, Ethan Casey, Ronan Casey, Sean Mc Verry, Fionn Mc Cann, Oisin O Hare.
