Eire Og Chorra Choill Hurling Club

U8:      The U8 hurlers played a great game on Wednesday in Clane.  Despite a great battle in gloriously sunny conditions (including 2 goals from Daragh Crowley) Clane came out on top by one point on a score of 3-1 to 3-0.  After 4 league wins this is the first defeat for this team in 2012. Well done to all the players on continued great performances.

U10:  The U10 team fought a very close game against Maynooth last Friday. Maynooth were just a bit more accurate in front of goals which got them over the finishing line by the minimum of margins. Best for EOCC were Adam Delmer, Cathal Dorrey, Niall Tierney and Paul Dolan.

U12:  EOCC won by one point against Leixlip and in so doing won their first game of the league. This is a much improved group and may have turned the corner.

U14 and U16: this is a quiet time for both groups. The under 14 continue their preparation for the National Feile in July. PLEASE SUPPORT THE EVENTS ORGANISED TO FUND THEIR TRIP TO REPRESENT YOUR PARISH!
