Our Minor Hurlers unfortunately bowed out of the Championship yesterday with a defeat 1-5 to 1-11 by the combined clubs of Loughcrew Gaels / Gaeil Colmcille. We wish the Cianán,Daragh,Sean and Shane well as they progress from minor to adult hurling next year. They and their parents yesterday recounted amazing road trips and battles throughout the county of Meath and memories made at underage games to last a lifetime. Best of luck in the future lads. #donash
