Kilmacud Crokes All Ireland U13’s 6th August 2014
Nicky Connolly, Jack Buggy, Dan Coogan, Kealan Ring, Conor Clarke, Jamie Maher, Dean Bray,
Kevin Smith, Lee Holden, Killian Hogan, Christopher Korff (capt), Billy O’Neill, Kevin Holland, Darragh O’Rourke.
Erin’s Own travelled to Dublin last Saturday morning with a squad of 14 players to the prestigious Kilmacud All Ireland Tournament. They were pitted against Sarsfields, From Cork, Salthill Knocknacarra from Galway and St Vincent’s from Dublin.
Round 1; Erin’s Own 4-7 Sarsfields 0-2
Round 2; Erin’s Own 4-3 Salthill Knocknacarra 3-6
Round 3; Erin’s Own 0-11 St Vincents 1-1
The Comer boys came through the round robin games very successfully with a big win in the first match against Cork outfit, Sarsfields. This was followed by the match of the day against Salthill Knocknacarra that ended up in a draw with Salthill pointing in the last puck of the match. It was a game played at a very high standard with the Comer boys unlucky to be caught on the line. The final game was a tighter affair against a physically bigger St Vincent’s side but again the locals seemed to always be in control and eventually run out easy enough winners.
Erin’s Own finished top of their group as they had a better scoring average than second placed Salthill Knocknacarra.
Semi Final; Erin’s Own 3-7 James Stephens 0-2
It was a local derby in the semi final with Comer going head to head with old rivals, The Village. This game proved to be a one sided affair as Comer just played the perfect match and the city boys, on this occasion, were no match. Comer ran out easy winners in the end.
Erin’s Own had just qualified for the final and for the first time that day they had an opportunity to get a rest and prepare for the big match. The final was played before a big crowd of a couple of thousand people in Kilmacud Crokes Glenalbyn grounds.
Erin’s Own; 3-6 Kilmacud Crokes 1-5
The performance was exceptional, the scores taken top class and the result beyond what they thought possible. Erin’s Own held their nerve lining up against a bigger Dublin side backed by a large crowd. This did not deter the Comer boys who were excellent from start to finish. Congratulations to each one of them on the way they played for each other and for their club. The Shield was presented afterwards by Tommy Dunne to Captain for the Day Christopher Korff.
Congratulations boys, All Ireland champions.

U 14 Hurling League Roinn A County Final 2014
O’Loughlins; 5-12
Erin’s Own; 1-14
O’Loughlins deservedly won this final after a very entertaining match played in a well appointed Jenkinstowm Pitch. O’Loughlins got off to a whirlwind start and were 3-1 to 0-0 up after only 8 minutes following a series of unfortunate errors by a nervous Erin’s Own defense. From that point to the end, the match went back and forth and the Comer lads played excellently, only to always rue the starting few minutes. By mid second half the lead was down to 5 points with the the O’Loughlins goal under siege. Despite all the effort, our lads came up short in the end and can only be commended right across the board for their willingness to fight to the very end – a genuine virtue for anyone to have. There will be brighter days ahead for this group of players.

Leinster Final 2014
On Sunday last week Erins Own GAA Club brought three bus loads of enthusiastic young and not so young supporters to the Leinster Finals in Croke Park. A great day was had by all from start to finish with many of our youngest members having their first visit to the famous stadium. The Minor match set the youngster’s excitement rolling for the big match with a great win with our own Conor Delaney playing brilliantly at full back and Niall MaMahon on the panel. The senior match was the highlight for most of the travelling group of nearly 150 and with Senior Club Star Conor Fogarty having a storming game at midfield all were happy when the cup was presented to the Black and Amber players. Afterwards the large entourage were guests of Joe and Julie Comerford and their staff at the Academy Hotel where everyone was treated to a fantastic spread of food and drinks. It was then aboard Denis Buggy’s busses and back to Castlecomer. Special thanks to Denis also who always looks after the club on these annual trips. The picture attached is the happy group outside The Academy Hotel.
