SENIOR HURLING
Our senior hurlers progressed to the division 1 county hurling league final with a solid victory over Roscrea in the semi final last Sunday. 12 first half wides from us saw Roscrea take a 2 point lead into the break but a Loughlin Ryan goal right at the start of the second half put us into the lead. Roscrea responded well and midway through the second half they still maintained a 2 point lead, even though they were reduced to 14 men. The final quarter was all Upperchurch though, reeling off 11 points to Roscrea’s 2 to leave the final score 1-18 to 0-14. We now face local rivals Drom & Inch in the league final which will be played next Wednesday at 7:30pm in Templetouhy. All support is welcome as we look to claim county silverware.

JUNIOR HURLING
The junior hurlers played out their second draw from two in this years mid championship last weekend. Final score against JK Brackens was 2-15 to 3-12. Our final game in the group is this Saturday at 7:30pm in Drombane where we face Thurles Gaels.

MINOR HURLING
