Report by Willie Egan.
GBC u10s got their hurling season off to a good start this morning in Kilmanagh in four very entertaining matches against strong opposition in Emeralds and Johnstown. Graigue Ballycallan fielded two teams, Blue and White. The Blue team took on the Fenians of Johnstown first and with an excellent performance they came out well on top. Next up Emeralds. GBC started well but Emeralds struck a goal before half time leaving it 1-01 to 1-00. Emeralds struck again early in the second half, leaving the lads behind 2-00 to 1-01, but they stood up well and drew level on the final whistle. There were great scores from Billy Egan, Conor Walton, Aaron McEvoy, Sean Roberts and Martin Brennan.
TEAM BLUE
Jeff Neary, Sean O’Halloran, Patrick Purcell, Conor Walton, Jack Docherty, Billy Egan, Ryan Cody, Aaron McEvoy, Sean Roberts, James Casey, Martin Brennan, Sean Dillon.
TEAM WHITE took on Emeralds first with a strong breeze in Emerald’s favour. They got a couple of early scores and GBC fought hard but couldn’t get the result they wanted and Emeralds came out on top.
Next up Johnstown! GBC got an early goal and never looked back, their scores coming from Eoin Egan, Patrick Foley, Charlie Cleere, Ryan Corcoran, Finn O’Byrne.
Well done lads.
