Saturday 23rd August
St Brigid’s under 6 and under 8 hurlers were in action at the Sarsfield’s blitz on Saturday 23rd August. The participating teams were Gort na Mona, St. Paul’s, Eire Og, St Brigid’s and the host club Sarsfields. The format of this tournament was a bit different in that the teams played each other in hurling then football and a novel scoring system of 1 point for a score under the bar and 3 points for a score over the bar to encourage point scoring. The under 8 team played some great hurling and football on the day losing only one of their eight matches.
Under 8 team Caoimhe McDonnell, Niall Finnegan, Garrett Gilleece, Niall Murtagh, James Kilpatrick, Colm Finnegan, Owen McCarney, Liam Magee, Samir O’Hare and Niall Duffy.
The under 6 players proved to be a formidable force in both codes, winning all their matches
Under 6 team James Blaney Rory Mc Erlaine, Dara Quinn, Dara Sidebottom, Fionntan Murtagh, Conor McKavanagh, Oisin Magee and Conn Gilleece.
