Report by Martin Delahunty
Graigue Ballycallan 4-6 Rower-Inistioge 0-11
Graigue Ballycallan finished out their busy League schedule with a little silverware after getting the better of southern stronghold Rower-Inistioge in the Shield Final. The game was played in very difficult conditions with persistent rain falling all through, but this was certainly not to dampen the enthusiasm from both sets of players. U8 Camogie Blitz 7/5/2017

U16 Roinn B HL 6th Round – GBC v Mullinavat – 1/05/2017
Report by Martin Delahunty
Graigue Ballycallan 2-9 Mullinavat 0-13
Graigue Ballycallan U16s finished out a hectic League campaign when they travelled south on Bank Holiday Monday evening to play Mullinavat. Still struggling with injuries they set out to finish on a high note after succumbing to their first league defeat to Danesfort in the previous days. This game had taken a lot out of the lads and it showed in the early exchanges where Mullinavat were on top and had the better in many sectors on the pitch. Read more
Intermediate HL 2nd Round – GBC v Glenmore – 5/5/2017
Report by Philomena Brennan
The second round of the Michael Lyng Intermediate Hurling League took place in a wind-swept Piltown on Friday 5th May last. Following GBC’s recent defeat to the Fenians this was a must win game as the GBC team took to the field. As expected the first half was very much dominated by the extremely strong breeze which proved very hard to manage as the game progressed. While GBC had the better of the early exchanges scores were hard to come by and following misses from both sides the first score came in the thirteenth minute. GBC led by 0-4 to Glenmore 0-2 coming up to half time but a lapse in the GBC concentration resulted in a well taken Glenmore goal. Glenmore tacked on another point but GBC responded with a late point and went into the break GBC 0-6 Glenmore 1-5. Read more

Intermediate HL Round 1 – GBC v Fenians – Sat 22/04/2017
Report by Philomena Brennan
The first round of the Intermediate Hurling League took place in Tullaroan on Saturday 22d April last. Graigue-Ballycallan’s opponents were the Fenians of Johnstown who had been relegated from the senior ranks late last year. Darragh Egan, team captain, led a team which included three from the club’s minor ranks who were making their debut. The first half was a tough encounter with both teams prone to some errors. However, GBC had the better of the exchanges and while only taking a one point lead into half-time, the fact that the majority of their tally was from play, hopes were high for a good second half. HT Score: GBC 0-7 Fenians 0-6. Read more
