Junior A match reports
Pairc Sheamuis Stiophan on the Kells Road was the venue as GBC faced O’Loughlin Gaels in the JJ Kavanagh & Sons Junior A Championship Semi Final on Sunday 16th August. 
This was always going to be a close match between these two even sides. The first quarter, as they are known by now, produced some fine hurling from both sides but at the water break it was GBC ahead by 1-7 to 0-7. GBC’s first score of the game coming from the evergreen James Ryall. This was followed by points from Oisín Egan, Adam O’Brien and Willie O’Connor but the difference between the two sides was Sean O’Dwyer with 1-1 from full forward. After the water break more points from Ciaran Hogan, two frees from Oisín Egan and another point from Sean O’Dwyer saw GBC lead at halftime 1-11 to 0-10

Junior A HL 4th Round – GBC v Carrickshock 3/05/2019

Junior A match reports

The Junior A team continued their winning campaign last Friday 3rd May when they travelled South to take on Carrickshock in Hugginstown.  With the return of a couple of players from injury and illness numbers were good and GBC went into the match with confidence. This confidence looked somewhat premature as it was Carrickshock who had the much better start. They quickly built up a 1-3 to 0-2 lead before GBC settled down. With each side matching one another score for score it was not a surprise that the teams went in at half time all square on a score of 1-9 each.

Junior A match reports

The Junior A team’s second outing (Rd 1 v Erins Own yet to be played) saw GBC take on Young Ireland’s in Tom Ryall Park on Saturday 27th April. GBC were missing at least eight players due to illness and injury but even so put up a spirited display from the throw in. Guilty of some wayward shooting the GBC side should have been more in control of the game from the start and were disappointed to be a point behind at the interval.
