Well done to the Senior hurlers, who battled to a 2-20 to 0-21 victory over Clonoulty Rossmore last Sunday afternoon in Templemore in the opening round of the County Championship.

A well-taken Tadhg Gallagher goal in the third minute gave Kiladangan a dream start, leading 1-4 to 0-1 by the seventh minute. Clonoulty responded strongly, cutting the gap to just two at half time (1-10 to 0-11).

The sides traded scores through the third quarter before both enjoyed purple patches in the final stretch. Kiladangan fired over five unanswered points between the 18th and 21st minute to move six clear, but Clonoulty hit back with four points in a row to set up a tense finish. Conor Culhane sealed the win with a goal three minutes into injury time.

Full teams, scorers, and a score tracker are available at KiladanganGAA.com. The lads now face Holycross Ballycahill in Round 2 on the weekend of August 23rd/24th.

The Junior ‘A’ hurlers will play their final group-stage game this Friday, 15th August, against Toomevara in Shalee. Throw-in is at 7:15 pm.

The outstanding fixture against Ballinahinch will not take place, as Kiladangan have received a walkover.

The Junior ‘B’ hurlers fell to a strong Moneygall side last Friday evening in Moneygall, in Kiladangan’s final group-stage match.

Final score: Kiladangan 0-12 Moneygall 1-30.

The team will now await the results of the remaining group fixtures to see if they progress to the Quarter Finals.

Best of luck to the footballers as they begin their Premier Junior Championship campaign this Saturday, 16th August, with a 7:00 pm throw-in against Father Sheehy’s in Kilcommon.

Well done to the Under 19 hurlers, who earned a hard-fought 1-15 to 0-14 victory over Burgess last Wednesday, 6th August, in Kilcolman. A crucial Rian McGrath goal midway through the second half proved the difference, sealing the win for Kiladangan. Full teams, scorers, and score tracker are available at KiladanganGAA.com.

The lads were due to face Borrisokane this coming Wednesday in Round 3, but Borrisokane have conceded the fixture. This result sees Kiladangan finish top of the group and progress directly to the Semi Final, scheduled for Wednesday, 20th August. Opponents are yet to be confirmed.

The Under 17 hurlers lost out to Kilruane MacDonaghs last Monday, 4th August, on a 1-18 to 4-17 scoreline. They were scheduled to face Roscrea on Monday, 11th August, but conceded the fixture. The lads’ next outing will be a Quarter Final on Monday, 18th August, with their opponents yet to be confirmed.

Well done to the Under 15 hurlers who had an impressive victory over Monday last Thursday 7th August in Moneygall. Their final group game takes place this coming Thursday 14th August at 7.00 pm away to Portroe. 

Hard luck to the Under 13 ‘D’ hurlers, who lost out to Kilruane MacDonaghs last Tuesday, 5th August, in Toomevara in the North Quarter Final. Well done to all the players and management for their great effort throughout the campaign.
