Hard luck to our under 13 hurlers who came up just short against Owen Gaels tonight on a wet and blustery evening.Both teams put on terrific displays in very wet conditions with the game in the balance right up to the final play where the young blues went for goal from a free to try and level the game but the Owen Gaels defence held out to win by 3 points. Best for Bantry on the night were Conor Hourihane, Owen Meyler, Conor Sheedy and Shane Cronin.

Team: Conor Hourihane, Jack O’Sullivan, Owen Meyler, Killian O’Sullivan, Conor Sheedy, Eoin McCarthy, Calvin O’Brien, Shane Cronin, Conor O’Mahony, Matt Murphy, Mattie Collins and Blake Hegarty. Thanks to our sponsors O’Keeffe’s SuperValu, Bantry.

Thanks to Owen Gaels for travelling to Bantry.

Finally, special thanks to visiting ref Kevin Hourihane from Dublin who took time out for his holidays in West Cork to referee tonight’s game.
