Excerpt

A Workmanlike win for Salthill juniors in county semi … THE Salthill hurling team, newly promoted to Junior 'A' status only this season, underlined its potential with a clear, if workmanlike, four point victory over Fohenagh in this county championship quarter final clash at Athenry on Sunday. … A well struck free from Ryan, that went all the way to the net, established a three point lead for Salthill, with only the accuracy of Fohenagh's free taker Gerry Burke — himself a former Salthill player — keeping his side within striking distance against a rearguard in which the reliable full back triumvirate of Joe Greaney, Denis O'Mahoney, and John McGrath were outstanding. Salthill could have found themselves in all kinds of trouble after the resumption when a speculative shot from Tony Kirwan went past Salthill goalkeeper Stephen Cullinane, to narrow the gap to just a point. However, points by Ryan, McGee, and a well-taken Michael Gavin goal midway through the half re-established Salthill's lead. … Full back Micheal Barrett, centre back Colm Kirwan — the team's best player — Seamus Lohan and the evergreen Eugene Hession tried hardest for Fohenagh.
