Corrigan Park
St Johns 1:08(11) Dunloy 2:09(15)
An under strength St. John’s Minor Hurling team
fell to Dunloy in the all county league on Friday night
in another match we could have won. Dunloy simply took
a few more of the available scoring chances in an evenly
contested match. Brian Holmes and Fionntain McKillop had
strong games in this one. With recent league reverses
against St.Galls and Cushendall morale appeared low but
despite these league set backs it’s clear to everyone
that at full strength we will be a serious contender in
this years Minor Hurling Championship.
