Senior Hurling
The Senior Hurlers had a tough encounter with a strong Garryspillane team on Tuesday evening last in Ahane in the ACHL. Despite leading by 1-14 to 0-09 after 40 mins, Ahane ended up having to settle for a draw with the final scoreline of 1-16 each. It was a very spirited display from the Ahane players against virtually a full strength Garryspillane team.
Ahane's ACHL match v Murroe-Boher which was scheduled for Boher on Saturday evening was called off on Saturday afternoon with Ahane getting a walkover.
Ahane's ACHL match v Patrickswell takes place on Tuesday 18th April at 6.30pm in Patrickswell - all support on the evening will be very welcome for what promises to be a tough encounter against the reigning county champions.
