Trophies: All clubs are asked to return trophies which were won in 2014 to their delegates before the next CCC meeting which will take place Monday week. Please ensure that all trophies are returned engraved and good condition.
Relegation: Last Saturday seen the all Mid relegation play off between Boherlahan Dualla and Moyne Templetuohy in Holycross. As in all these games it was a game of nerves and for the first half it was a fierce battle with neither side willing to bow down to the other. However just before half time, an injury to Boherlahan talisman Darragh Hickey (who had scored 1-4 up until this) swung the game in favour of the men from Moyne. They kicked on in the second half with goals from John Hassett and Diarmuid Fogarty along with the unerring free taking from Martin Kelly proving to be too good for Boherlahan Dualla who won by a score of 3-20 to 1-13. This was a sad day for the Boherlahan club but with some fine underage players coming through they will rebuild and fight their way back to the top table. Holycross Ballycahill and Cappawhite will play their play off game on 17th July in Dundrum.
