Premier Intermediate Hurling Championship
After months of preparation the Premier Intermediates will take
to the field to face Kilworth in the first round of the hurling
championship on Sunday May 24th in Pairc Ui Rinn at 3.45pm.
Following their promotion back to Division 1 of the Intermediate
Hurling league they have proved they will be worthy contenders for
the championship this year. Our Intermediate hurlers have beaten
last years losing finalists Newcestown as well as Ballinhassig and
Tracton. These victories along with a draw against Meelin means
they have notched up seven points in the league to date and lie in
third, just a single point behind the joint leaders. Our opponents
Kilworth also have three wins in the league so its set to be a
exciting match. Make sure youre at Pairc Ui Rinn this Sunday to
cheer the team on and make sure we get over the line. If you cant
make it dont worry you can check out our twitter, @BlarneyGAA, for
regular updates throughout this game and many other matches over

Underage Update.
Blarney overcome Naomh Aban in the Football Championship. The
junior footballers had prepared well before going to championship
having overcome Canovee and drawing with Kilmicheal in the league.
They next took on Naomh Aban in the championship in Kilmurry. They
started well scoring the first two points of the match, a point
from play from Joe Jordan and free kick from Mark OLeary. Fifteen
minutes in, the Blarney goal was threatened for the first time, but
keeper Shane Jordan made a great save to keep Blarney in front.
Mark OLeary and Ray Murphy added two points before Naomh Aban
struck with a well-placed goal. At half time the score was Blarney
0-6 Naomh Aban 1-2, David Cremin putting a score on the board
before the half. Blarney started the second half well, Paul OLeary
punching two points from tight angles. Naomh Aban then responded
with a second goal to tie the scores. Mark OLeary kept the
scoreboard ticking over by converting the frees, however Naomh Aban
seemed to be putting in a good challenge. After a number of
unsucessful attacks Blarney finally managed a goal when Conor Foley
won the ball in the full forward line and finished into the back of
the net. Mark OLeary got the final score to clintch the win. Final
Score: Blarney 1-11 Naomh Aban 2-7

B Hurlers recently started their competitive campaign against
Laochra g in the league. They overcame their opponents and the
elements to take the victory on a scoreline of Blarney 3-12 Laochra
g 2-10. As there is a change in the structure of the league this
year Blarney will now have a few weeks to wait before they take on

Well done to Mark Coleman who played his part in the Cork Minors
victory over Limerick last month in the Munster Minor Hurling
Championship. They will take on Limerick again in the Semi-Final on

minors hulrers didnt have the same result unfortunately as they
lost out to a strong Charleville team in the Premier 2 Hurling
Championship on a scoreline of Blarney 0-12 Charleville 1-16. Good
victories over Midleton, Aghada and Carrigaline in the league show
they capable of going far in the championship. They take on Passage
West in the second round in July. Big Congratulations to Blarneys
