1st Under 10 Hurling Blitz of 2014
On Saturday 10th May our under 10 boys travelled to Ennistymon to our first blitz. They had a very successful day in the extremely stormy wet and cold conditions of the north Clare pitch. They played Inagh-Kilnamona, Tubber and Ennistymon and scored a superb total of 19 goals and 5 points in the 3 games. The skill point for the blitz was hand catching which our boys did very well even with their frozen hands! Very well done to all the following boys that braved the weather and attended the blitz:-Darragh LaCantelinas, Darragh O Daly, Daire Corey, Darren Punch, David Droney, Dean Meaney, Frankie Lyons, Michael Barry, Piaras O Shea and Thomas O Halloran. Thanks to all the parents that travelled to the game and to Ennistymon club who provided much welcomed teas, coffees and snacks after the blitz. Our next u10 blitz is on Saturday 31st May @11am Ruan pitch for anyone who would like to come and support the boys.

Patrick Maxwell (4) and Josh Brack scored for the winners.
It was the turn of Feakle and Clarecastle to square up in the second game. This time Clarecastle were behind by two goals to one at the interval and found the Feakle defence difficult to penetrate. The East Clare outfit tacked on a few more goals and were worthy winners by five goals to two.
Liam Moloney (2), Liam Hogan, Conor Whelan and Oisín Clune scored for the winners, while Clarecastle’s replies came from Patrick Maxwell and John Cullinan.
The last game in the round robin series saw Feakle taking on Ruan. Feakle held a slender one-goal lead at half-time. Ruan fought bravely and levelled early in the second half. Both teams had chances to win the game but the game ended in a draw, ensuring that Feakle became the 10th team to win the title for the first time.
Conor Whelan and Liam Moloney were the East Clare side’s goalscorers, while Ruan’s replies came from Ashley Brohan-Kavanagh and Shane Punch.
The members of the winning Feakle team are Liam Hogan, Liam Moloney, Adrian Brzozowski, Conor Whelan, Enda Madden, Liam O’Connor, Oisín Clune, Michael Farrell, Adam Hogan and Ronan O’Connor.
