This week Lyre Under 14
footballers had a comprehensive and one-sided victory
over Knocknagree in the U14 final at Rathcoole on
Wednesday last. Lyre led from the start and the game
was effectively over after twenty minutes. At halftime,
Lyre lead by 5-7 to 0-1 and were rampant in all areas of
the field. In the second half, Lyre continued to press
on and dominate the game and in the last 10 minutes
substituted some of the stronger players. Final score
Lyre 6-11 Knocknagree 1-3. Lyre now progress to the
County in September/October. Congratulations to all
involved and coach/selectors Pat O’Connor and
Honor Shine.

Banteer
U14 hurlers returned to the same venue on Friday evening
to contest the U14 hurling final against Newmarket and
after a tough battle were beaten by the narrowest of
margins in their bid to complete the double.
Scores
were at a premium with the sides
level at half time. Newmarket started the second half
well and went 2 points ahead with 10
mins remaining. Banteer
pulled them back to the minimum of margins with time
running out. However Newmarket held out for a deserved
victory to deny the double.
