Blarney overcome Naomh Aban in the

Football Championship.
The junior footballers had prepared well before going to
championship having overcome Canovee and drawing with
Kilmicheal in the league. They next took on Naomh Aban in the
championship in Kilmurry. They started well scoring the first
two points of the match, a point from play from Joe Jordan and
free kick from Mark OLeary. Fifteen minutes in, the Blarney
goal was threatened for the first time, but keeper Shane Jordan
made a great save to keep Blarney in front. Mark OLeary and
Ray Murphy added two points before Naomh Aban struck with a
well-placed goal. At half time the score was Blarney 0-6 Naomh
Aban 1-2, David Cremin putting a score on the board before the
half. Blarney started the second half well, Paul OLeary punching
two points from tight angles. Naomh Aban then responded with
a second goal to tie the scores. Mark OLeary kept the
scoreboard ticking over by converting the frees, however
Naomh Aban seemed to be putting in a good challenge. After a
number of unsucessful attacks Blarney finally managed a goal
when Conor Foley won the ball in the full forward line and
finished into the back of the net. M ark OLeary got the final score
to clintch the win. Final Score: Blarney 1-11 Naomh Aban 2-7

Junior A Hurling
For the second year in a row the Junior
A Hurlers take on Inniscarra in the first
round of the Muskerry Junior A Hurling
Championship. Blarney will be hoping
for a similar result to last year in which
they cruised past them to win by eleven
points. The game is scheduled to take
place on Saturday 6th of June in
Donoughmore. In the Muskerry league
Blarney have two wins and two loses
from four games and are in second place
in the standings. This year they have
also entered the county league,
unfortunately they lost their first game
away to Ballinora.

Junior B Hurling
Following a few good challenge games
the Junior B Hurlers recently started
their competitive campaign against
Laochra g in the league. They
overcame their opponents and the
elements to take the victory on a
scoreline of Blarney 3-12 Laochra g 210. As there is a change in the structure
of the league this year Blarney will now
have a few weeks to wait before they
take on Donoughmore in their next
league game in mid-June.
