U12 Danesfort shield winners

18/09/2015
Congratulations to the Dunnamaggin U12 hurlers who won the Shield Final at the annual Danesfort U12 blitz on Saturday 19th September last. They went into the tournament as the holders of the fabulous Mick Hoban trophy and were pitted against Middleton in a repeat of last year's first round thriller. These two teams again served up another great game with Dunnamaggin coming up just short this time on a scoreline of 2 - 10 to 3 - 4. Middleton went on to win the trophy this year with Dunnamaggin going forward to a Shield semi-final. In this game, Dunnamaggin ran out easy winners against hosts Danesfort, who were missing some key players on the day. This placed our lads in the Shield Final against Muckalee and after a hard fought game, Dunnamaggin pulled away in the second half to win by 8-7 to 1-6. There were some great performances on the day from this group who earlier this year, completed a famous three in a row at the annual Tullogher Rosbercon U12 blitz. All of the panel have worked very hard all year and are a match for any team in the county on their day. Well done to the following who were on the panel on the day; Aidan O' Neill, Jimmy O' Neill, Jack Walsh, Colin Fitzpatrick, Joe Fitzpatrick, Ruaidhri Holden, Tom Lodge, Shaun Ó' Keeffe, Mikey Thomas, Aaron Moore, Ben Kinsella, Craig Drennan, Mark MacEneaney, Cathal Walsh, William Browne and Denis Walsh
