The club captain(pictured left receiving his man of the match award from Kevin McGuinness at Casement Park) has been representing the club at county level for a number of years now, however he gave arguably one of his best displays at inter-county level to date and this was certainly recognised by many on the day when he received the Man of the Match Award.

With the first game in the county hurling league just 2 weeks away, its a promising start for the new club captain and it will be hoped that this good form continues on at club level.

Loughuile are the first opposition the club's hurlers will face this year and, after nearly winning the league last year, will certainly provide them with a tough match.
