We lost out on points difference with Ballyhea to reach the Cup Final by 2 pts

As a result we qualified for the shield final against the famed St. Finbarrs of Cork city.

This game ended level and we lost out in extra time on a score of 1-4 v 1-5.

The boys were exceptional today in very trying under foot conditions but played some excellent passages of hurling through all 4 games...

Congratulations to the hosts Ballyhea who went on to win the tournament beating Clooney/Quin in the final on a score of 1-05 to 0-01.
