After a great victory against St. Lachtain’s, GBC travelled to St. John’s Park with a quiet confidence to face League Champions Thomastown in the Michael Lyng Motors Intermediate Quarter Final. Conditions were more akin to a July evening and the conditions most definitely lent themselves to a great game of hurling. The large crowd in attendance were treated to a competitive game which kept them enthralled to the final moments.

The eagerly awaited First Round of the Michael Lyng Intermediate Championship took place last Saturday 16th September in a rain sodden Jenkinstown. The importance of this match was not lost on all present as a defeat would ensure the losers a place in the Intermediate Relegation Final, a place no one wanted to be. St. Lachtain’s got off to a dream start and had 1-1 on the scoreboard in a matter of minutes after GBC conceded an early penalty.

Hard luck to the Kilkenny Senior Camogie team and Aisling Dunphy on All-Ireland day last Sunday 10th September, unlucky not to come away with the win in the end after a hard fought second half. Aisling had a brilliant game in half back and did us all very proud!
It wasn’t all negative news on the day though as Aisling was named on the Sunday Game Team of the Year at half back. A great achievement which is rightly deserved! Congratulations Aisling!
Also, congratulations to our Feile friends Gailltir of Waterford who won the squad goals final at half time.
Well done to our St. Brigid’s girls and the rest of the Kilkenny U14 team who beat Cork in the final of the All-Ireland blitz in Thurles last Saturday, 9th September.

Congratulations and well done to all on a fantastic achievement!
