PEIL AOI 13: We have now completed Phase 1 of the County League. Both our teams did amazingly well and have taken a one week break from competitive games. Action resumes on Sunday next (May 12th).

IOMÁNAÍOCHT FAOI 15: Good wishes to two U15 Rock hurlers, Ben Litchfield and Haulie Cotter, who’ll be taking part in the National Féile (Hurling) finals in Wexford on 22nd June. Go n-éirí go geal leo!
PEIL FAOI 15: Last week was a busy week with mixed fortunes! (i) Following a win on Sunday nightthe 28th our Division 9 team was in action again 24 hours later when we hosted Ballymac. We had an exciting game but a strong Ballymac team took the laurels. So, the current state of play is as follows: on Wednesday next (15th) our B team will face Killarney Legion in the Division 9 semi-final. The game will be played in Killarney. Best wishes, boys!
(ii) On Wednesday night the 1st our Division 1 team travelled to Listry to take on Keel/Listry in a must wingame to remain in Division 1. Following a poor opening few minutes, after which we trailed by 6 points, we finally got going and upped our game! At the half-time break we were 6 points to the good! A great comeback! We looked forward to the 2nd half! We started with gusto (le flosc agus le fonn) and an early point gave us a 7 point lead but, unfortunately, the strong Keel/Listry boys reorganised themselves and picked away at our hard-earned lead; eventually ag deireadh thiar thall, the Ciarraí Láir lads were winners by 2 points. Croíthe briste! So, the current state of play is as follows: our A team has been scheduled to face An Ghaeltacht in the Division 2 semi-final this Wednesday evening (8th) in our own Connolly Park. Thanks to our faithful supporters. (Ger Hobbert)
