Boys
Hurling Vs Connolly NS
Last Tuesday week our boys hurling
team got back on track with a good win over Connolly. Crusheen started
the game well with Jamie Fitzgibbon pointing. However Connolly came
right back into it and the score was 2-1 to 1-4 at half-time with Conor
O'Loughlin getting the goal. The second half served up a great game
of hurling with the switch of Jamie Fitzgibbon to full forward paying
dividends. Connolly tried hard but our lads held out for a good win.
Colin Vaughan excelled in goals. Shane Loughrey, Gerry Roseingrave,
Conor O'Loughlin, Rory Halpin, Anthony Rodgers and scorer in chief Jamie
Fitzgibbon were to the fore in a great team performance.
On Tuesday the boys qualified for the semi final with a comprehensive
victory over neighbours Barefield. Our boys started the game in great
fashion with goals from Jamie Fitzgibbon and Luke Hayes and were well
ahead at half time. In the second half Crusheen continued to pile on
the pressure, a great point from Conor O'Loughlin and goals from Rory
Halpin and Colin Vaughan sealed a great victory. There were other great
performances from Mark Perrill, Colin Halpin, Gerry Roseingrave and
Anthony Rodgers. The boys now go forward to the semi-final and if they
can repeat this performance hopes of a victory are high.
Scorers: J. Fitzgibbon (5-1), C. O'Loughlin (0-1), R. Halpin (1-3),
L. Hayes (1-0), C. Vaughan (1-1).
Camogie: Crusheen N.S. 10 : 0 Mountshannon N.S. 3

Our girls travelled to Scariff
on Tuesday for their second league fixture and were absolutely trilled
to record their first victory in the competition with an emphatic win
over Mountshannon. We got off to a great start and led by five goals
to nil at half time. Mountshannon fought back in the second half and
closed the gap to 5 -3 but we pulled away after that and finished strongly.
