Tough test awaits hurlers

After the drama and excitement generated by the footballers’ win over Kerry, the focus this weekend is on the hurlers as they face the All-Ireland champions Tipperary on Saturday in a ground where our record is not the best.

Saturday will also see the camogie team play the quarter-final in Páirc Uí Chaoimh with Clare providing the opposition, and the ladies footballers head to Birr for a meeting with Cavan on Sunday.

In the immediate aftermath of the win over Dublin, manager Kieran Kingston expressed delight with the win, and the performance: “I’m very happy, much better than last week, our workrate was way up and so was our accuracy. We had two good training sessions during the week and it showed out there today.”
