The Grattan’s take the Senior Hurling Double
Last Sunday in Clontibret the scene was set for Inniskeen to capture the illusive Senior Hurling Double.
Having already put Castleblaney to the sword to secure the championship, the Grattans took on Truagh in the Silver Foods Hurling league final.
Truagh caused the upset of the season when they dumped a much fancied Blaney outfit from the semi final by an epic score line of 2-15 to 5-07, so the lads knew they had to be at their best to go toe to toe with the Gaels.
The game ebbed and flowed; however 3 goals from the Grattan’s eventually undid Truagh. The first of the goals came from County Minor Star, Donal Meegan and the other 2 came from Ciaran Mc Kinnely who was making his Grattans Debut from Loughgiel Shamrocks, Co Antrim.
The win capped a fantastic season here in Monaghan and sets the lads up for the Ulster Intermediate Hurling Championship this Sunday (13th) in Crossmaglen.
We meet the Armagh champions Cuchulainns and the throw in is at 1.45pm.
On behalf of all the Inniskeen Members and Committee we want to congratulate Brian and the boys for their achievements to date and wish them the very best in Ulster.
Please come out and support the lads this Sunday in Cross.
