U21 Hurling.
The U21B hurlers travelled to Brinny on Saturday last to play Ballygarvan in the semifinal of the county championship. The day was not suited for good hurling as heavy rain fell throughout the game and made conditions miserable for both teams. Dohenys were ahead at halftime on the score of 1-03 to 0-03. In a low scoring game Ballygarvan took the lead early in the second half and the sides were seperated by the minimum up to the final whistle. Dohenys tried hard to get the equaliser and were unlucky not to at least get a draw. The final score was 1-07 to 1-06. Team : J. Lordan, R. Crowley, T. Collins, C.Cronin, J.Forbes, A. Sheehan, C. Lynch, D Collins, M Murphy, D. Rice, D. Sweetnam, K. O Connell, J.Collins, B. O Sullivan, B. McCarthy, and J. O Connell.

Fixture Sam Maguire Park
The club hosted the Junior County championship game Mitchelstown versus Urhan on Saturday last. This fixture coincided with with the clubs U21 hurling championship game which was played at Brinny at the same time . As the fixtures were made by the same Board one can only assume that no consideration is given to clubs and members, a little common since regarding the timing of these games would have relieved an awkard situation. The Club
appreciates the time given by members and especially those of the Clann na Gael club who helped to fullfill the running of the fixture.
