Connacht Tribune 25 Oct 1985: Murphy to rescue as Ahascragh come good — Ahascragh 3-4 Fohenagh 0-4 in the County Under 21 hurling championship; Ahascragh secure a semi-final place, Fohenagh to meet Salthill for the second semi-final place; Fohenagh team includes R. Moclair

Connacht Tribune · 25 Oct 1985 · p.13 · INA

Murphy to rescue as Ahascragh come good … AHASCRAGH finished best against Fohenagh to secure a place in the County Under 21 C Hurling semi-final at Duggan Park, Ballinasloe on Saturday. But this defeat is not the end of the road for Fohenagh who now meet Salthill to decide who should get a second semi-final place. … Ahascragh centrefielder, Michael Monohan, opened the scoring with a point from a close free. This spurred Fohenagh into greater effort and, by the sixth minute, they led by two points to one, thanks to points by Gerry Madden and Gabriel Gormally. In the last few minutes of the half, points by Kevin Greene and Gabriel Gormally stretched Fohenagh's lead which stood at 0-4 to 0-1. … Fohenagh: M. Collins, N. Curley, C. Kirwan, S. Concannon, K. Greene 0-1, J. O'Brien, M. Blehein, P. Curley, J. Blehein, R. Moclair, G. McLoughlin, G. Gormally 0-2, K. O'Brien, S. Curley, G. Madden 0-1. Referee: N. Ryan (Ballinasloe).

Connacht Tribune 15 Nov 1985: Ahascragh come good in second half to secure U-21 final place — Ahascragh 3-4 Fohenagh 1-4 in the U-21 hurling semi-final replay at St. Brendan's Park, Loughrea (drawn 2-4 each at Duggan Park a week earlier; fourth clash of the year); Fohenagh team includes N. Mockler and R. Mockler

Connacht Tribune · 15 Nov 1985 · p.13 · INA

Ahascragh come good in second half to secure U-21 final place … BY J. B. DONOHOE WHILE Ahascragh and Fohenagh are next-door neighbours from the far-flung frontier of Galway hurling on the field of play there is no love lost between them. That was patently obvious to the hardy band of rival supporters who braved the deep freeze at St. Brendan's Park, Loughrea, on Sunday to witness the replay of the semi-final of the U-21 ‘C’ Hurling Championship. One week earlier at Duggan Park, Ballinasloe, the sides drew 2-4 each and it was perhaps scarcely surprising that the players were getting somewhat fed up of their rivals, as Sunday's was the fourth clash between them this year. … FOHENAGH: M. Collins; N. Curley, C. Kirwan, S. Curley; K. Greebe, J. Brien, M. Blehein; P. Curley (1-0), J. Blehein; K. Brien, G. Gormley (capt.), G. McLoughlin (0-4, frees); N. Mockler, L. Manning, R. Mockler. Referee: M. Monaghan (Portumna).
