Hard luck to all the team last Thursday evening in the Prairie. The team lost to Annaghdown by a point in their County semi final.
U15 Hurling
U15 hurling campaign started on Friday (1 Sept) with an away fixture to Annghdown. Salthill got off to a slow start and went 2 points down. Ten minutes in Jack Ryan earned a penelty that Diarmuid Monroe put in the net and that lifted the team and they got to half time 2 points in the lead. Adam Kennedy had not played with the 2002/03 squad before and came on at half time. A few minutes in he made a critical short pass that led to a goal. Two more goals followed from Barry Murphy and Daniel Joyce, which opened a gap Annaghdown could not close. Now that the team had found their rhythm, there were plenty of points from distance from Evan Nolan and Diarmuid Munroe, with Fergus Haney and Shane O'Neil also contributing points to the score board. The final score was 4-14 to 3-6.
