U12 Tournament in Easkey

Post date: Jul 28, 2014 8:38:24 AM

Our U12 team who travelled to Easkey today for a tournament with the host club Easkey, Toureen, and Carrick on Shannon.

In very windy conditions - we played some very good hurling and won all 3 games to qualify for the final against Easkey. In the final - Easkey were aided by a very strong wind in the first half and had a half time lead of 6 pts to 1 pt (Goals counted as points). A heavy shower of rain at the start of the second half - made way for tricky hurling conditions. Four Roads had Easkey under immense pressure in the second half but they defended extremely well and we were unlucky not to win. The final score was 6 pts to 4 pts. The team stopped off at the beach on the way home ( to cool off in the wind and rain!!)! It was noted that only one of the management team was man enough to go for a swim though!! A well earned stop off in Supermacs on the way home finished off a very enjoyable day. Great credit is due to our players who did the club proud and sincere thanks to all parents who travelled to Easkey. Thanks also to the management team!

Next match v Athleague/Tremane in Four Roads on Wednesday at 7:30 pm, meet at 7 pm
