On Tuesday, 4th May the Senior hurlers played Round 3 of the East Senior Hurling Championship against Murroe-Boher in Murroe. Being short a number of regulars due to injuries, the selectors gave senior starts to 3 of our Minor hurlers and it proved to be the major decision that fashioned a much needed morale boosting victory with the County Championship approaching. The first half was a fast open game with some excellent point scoring by both teams. Half-time score Murroe-Boher 0-10, Ahane 0-8. The second half started with an Ahane goal from Dan Morrissey in the first minute. This set the trend for the second half which saw Ahane score 5 goals, one more for Dan Morrissey, one for John Meskell and two for Richard Ryan. It was easily our best performance of the year so far with much better team play resulting in good scores. Hopefully, the team can build on this performance for the forthcoming championship matches. The Final score was Ahane 5-13, Murroe-Boher 0-17.
