Under 16
Our under 16 hurlers bowed out of the Championship at the semi final stage on Saturday afternoon when they lost out to a stronger Four Roads side. Four Roads played with the aid of a strong wind in the 1st half and led at half time by 1-6 to 0-1. St Dominics started the 2nd half determined to cut back the Four Roads 8 point lead and scored 4 points without reply. It looked like the game would go down to the wire but then Four Roads scored a goal that sealed St Dominics fate and they ran out comfortable winners on a final scoreline of 2-9 to 0-5. Well done to the lads as this was a very young side with only a few sixteen year olds on the team. Training continues this week for the U15’s who will be playing their semi final shortly.
