HURLING

The junior hurlers defeated Barrow Rangers at the second time of asking to win the Paddy Cahill Cup Final in a tough tussle played in St. John’s Park on Saturday night last. Conahy were deserving winners but will be looking to improve upon their performance when they face Emeralds in the Northern Junior League/Championship this coming Sunday morning at 11.00 a.m. Conahy led by 0-11 to 1-7 at half-time having conceded a goal just before the break. Conahy missed a number of chances throughout the second half but were able to score enough to keep their opponents at bay. In the end, they won out on a 0-21 to 1-15 score line.
