Abbeyknockmoy Hurling
Seniors lost to Athenry by 3-11 to 0-14 at the weekend. Athenry with two early goals made it a hilly start for Abbey but they fought back to be only three down at break 2-3 to 0-6.
It was tit for tat all the way through second half and Abbey were three down approaching full time when they received a penalty which was then inexplicably changed to a ’21 after the referee consulted with the umpire. The definition of inside the box must be different in Loughrea.
Unfortunately, the ’21 was missed and Athenry wrapped up proceedings with a late goal.
A good performance from the lads. Paul Flaherty was superb from play and on the frees as usual. We now have one game left against Ardrahan. We are level on points with Moycullen but we have a superior scoring difference.
Hopefully we can beat Ardrahan so we won’t have to be relying on the Athenry Moycullen result to avoid the relegation scrap.
Our U15’s backed up the Pearses win with a win over Ardrahan last week. Well done lads.
Round 3 report from Kilconeiron game next week. Abbey already into cup semi final which is on Thursday 20th.
