Adult Team Roundup - With the conclusion of the Adult Hurling Leagues, here is a roundup of the teams progress.
Senior
Having finished 4th in the league part of Division 1A the Seniors have reached the Quarter Final of the Clare Cup. With losses against Broadford, Kilmaley, Clonlara and Feakle, the seniors finished the league strongly with wins against Clooney Quin and Ballyea. they also had wins in earlier rounds against Cratloe, Crusheen and Inagh Kilnamona.
The Quarter Final takes place this evening at 630pm in Shannon and against local rivals Newmarket. With a panel being named recently, competition for places on the starting team is now beginning to intensify.
The last league outing was against Clooney Quin, which they won well on a scoreline of 0-19 to 0-09. The lineup that day and scorers were as follows:
Derek Fahy
Jordan Downes
Noel Purcell

Intermediates
The Intermediates also finished 4th in Division 2. With 5 wins and 4 losses. The losses came against Inagh Kilnamona, Ruan, Clooney Quin and Parteen while the wins came against Kilmaley, Tubber, Newmarket, Ogonnoloe and Corrofin.
With a large number of injuries recently, the Intermediates would have had to dip into the Junior pool of players to fulfil fixtures and indeed this is one of the benefits of having a large group of players hurling across 4 adult teams. With no advancement in the league, the Intermediates will now be focusing in championship going forward.
The last league game for the Intermediates was against Kilmaley and they won on a scoreline of 1-27 to 2-16. The lineup for that match was as follows:
Cian Hogan
Leon Kelly
Aidan Quilligan
Adam Breen
Conor Gilligan
Cathal Lynch
Cian Gleeson
Cathaoir Agnew
Ronan Tuohy
Evan Murphy
Luke O' Halloran
Sean Lynch
Adam Murray
Tiernan Agnew

Junior B
The Junior B third team have finished 1st in Division 5A of the league and now progress to the Division 5 Quarter Final where they will play Scarrif on Monday evening in O' Callaghans Mills. The Junior Bs finished the league unbeaten with 3 wins, a draw and a walkover from Whitegate. The wins came against Clonlara, Kilmaley and Smith O' Briens and the draw against Feakle.
With a good mix of youth and experience this team is progressing quite well with some stellar performances in there games to date.
Junior C
The Junior C team started their campaign in Division 5C of the Junior B League, very well with a win against Ballyea and they followed up with wins against Clooney Quin and Ennistymon. They also had a walkover against Ogonolloe before experiencing defeats against Bodyke, O' Callgahans Mills and Broadford. Unfortunately their efforts were not enough to progress to the Quarter Finals Stage, so they will now also be focussing on championship in the coming weeks.
