Senior Hurling Championship 2014
Carnmore v Portumna
Sunday 25th May 2014 at 7pm
in Kenny Park, Athenry
Carnmore Senior Hurlers met reigning All-Ireland Champions, Portumna in the first of their group games of Round 3 of the 2014 championship campaign. Carnmore did not shy away from Portumna, a team with incredible skill, work-rate and movement, and had put up a score of 2–6 to Portumna’s 1–11 at half time.
Back Row: George Hanley, Darragh Leonard, Darren Fahy, Donnie Fox, Emmett Feeney, Ciaran Murray, Kevin Killilea, James Collins, Kegan Fox, Gary Grealish, Eoin Grealish, Barry Hanley, Paul Fox, Trevor Casserely. Front Row: Mathew Moran, Alan Traynor, Kevin Hanley, JP O Connell, Oisin Keane, Ciaran Fahy, Aaron Fox. Jason Byrne, Shane Quinn, Antony Daveron, Aidan Reilly, David Collins Squad members Joe Garrett and Sean Nugent are missing from the photo.
Carnmore worked hard in the second half, with points from George Hanley, Kevin Killilea and Barry Hanley, to keep their side honest, however with the score at 1–21 to 2–12 at the end of the third quarter, the result had all but slipped away. Portumna, although conceded no less than fifteen frees to Carnmore’s seven, were the winners of this match. Only for Carnmore’s goalkeeper, Ciaran Fahy, there may have been a much larger gap in the result.
Final Score
Portumna 2–28
Carnmore 2–14
