Cobh Gaa Notes 30th July

Results:
IHC: Cobh 0-14  Dripsey 2-17. The Intermediate team made their exit from this years’ championship when they went under to a better balanced Dripsey side at Pairc Uí Rinn. This seasons’ campaign has seen the introduction a lot of young blood into the Cobh team and it is hoped that this will pay dividends in the future. Manager John Ronan and his backroom team have put in a great effort, and along with coach Colm O’Brien they have brought the group to a good standard of hurling and hopefully this progression will continue in the coming years. The players have given great commitment to the team with a number having to re-arrange holiday plans to be available for the game and one, Stephen Kearney, playing in the game despite fracturing his shoulder in two places only 3 weeks ago. Well done to all involved for their efforts and we hope to see you all back in action on the hurling pitch as soon as possible.
