U21 Hurling: The Under 21 hurlers exited the championship on Monday afternoon, losing 1-10 to 0-10 to Shannon Rovers Gaels after extra time in Cloughjordan. Lorrha held the upper hand for long stages but the concession of a goal midway through the second half brought Rovers Gaels back into the match and in extra time pushed on for victory. Thanks to the players and mentors for their effort and this rounds off our on-field club activity for the year.
