  • Senior Championship, Round 1
    Ahascragh-Fohenagh 1-19 Pádraig Pearses 1-14: It was a disappointing start to the Championship for our Senior hurlers in Duggan Park yesterday evening.

  • U14s Run out of Time
    Pearses 3-9 Portumna 4-9. Report by Martina Donnellan. For the modest crowd that showed up in Ballymac last night to see Pearses U14s play Portumna in Round 1 of the U14 hurling championship, they received something like a meagre hurling blessing. Pearses played at half a gallop in the 2nd half and like the U16…

In the third match of the U16 County Final hurling rivalry between Mullagh/Kiltormer and Pearses, it was a story of agony and ecstasy.
