Under 21 Hurling: Lorrha 1-15 Nenagh Eire Og 3-5
Lorrha got their Under 21 campaign off to the best possible start with a good win over Nenagh Eire Og in a wintry Cloughjordan on Sunday evening.
While playing nowhere near our best, we did manage to take a 0-9 to 1-2 half time lead. Despite playing with fourteen men for much of the second half, we kept our noses ahead and a goal from Conor Sullivan helped create a cushion we were able to hold onto to the finish.
Team: Willie Maher; Ciaran Duggan, Garrett O’Meara, Andrew Hoctor; Graham Houlihan, Kevin Maher (0-1), Brendan Fogarty; Ciaran Haugh, Patrick Maher (0-3); Cian Hogan (0-1), John Lambe (0-1), Jack Maher (0-1 free); Willie Hough (0-2), Conor Sullivan (1-1), Sean Cleary (0-5, 4 frees).
Lorrha take on Borris-Ileigh in their next game on the weekend of 18-19 April and a win would guarantee a spot in the semi-finals.

You can also play the Lorrha GAA Club Lotto Online by going to our website: lorrha-dorrha.tipperary.gaa.ie and clicking on the lotto icon or going to www.locallotto.ie. The number of players who have joined is growing by the week. It is easy to play and players can play for a number of weeks meaning they don’t have to play every week.
We would ask that all our promoters would leave their tickets at a collection point in the parish no later than twenty four hours prior to the date of each lotto draw as it allows our draw workers to operate the draw smoothly on the night without having to track down tickets.

Website: Our website: lorrha-dorrha.tipperary.gaa.ie has been updated in recent weeks with photos from 2007 and also contains weekly news, fixtures, results and events and also access to our lottery online.
