NEWS FROM 2006

Finally after almost 5 months of training the County Senior hurling championship kicked off with a first round game against Killmallock. This game was played in Bruff on last Sunday evening. In a very tight game Knockainey started off the strongest and but we went in at the half time break down by 4 points. In a second half where our physical fitness really showed we had a chance to win the game with a last minute chance but it just drifted wide. The final score was 0-14 to Knockainey to 1-11 to Killmallock. Great credit is to be given to the full panel of players and all the backroom staff. Team: Paudie Madden, Paudie Davern, William O'Brien, Ger O'Shea, Kevin Madden, Anthony Kirby, Paddy MacNamera, Euguene Mulchay, Brian O'Shea, Pearse Davern, Donal Madden, Nigel Finch, Mike Ryan, Patrick Kirby, Dermot Walsh. Subs: Donnacha O Brien, Mark Cleary, Shane Walsh.

With a very strong line down the middle of the field we were never really in troble, and if some easy chances had been taken in the first half we would have won by more. There were very good performances by Mike Bagnell, Alan Bourke, Eugune Mulchay, Paddy Macnamera, and Anthony Kirby. The full team was: M. Quinlan, S. Enright, D. Madden, D. Hurley, S. Walsh, M. Bagnell, K. Madden, P. MacNamera, E. Mulchay, S. Barry, M. Ryan, K. Madden, N. Madden, A. Bourke, A. Kirby. Subs: T. Mitchell, K. Mulchay, T. Moloney, D. MacNeill, E. Walsh
