Athenry Senior hurlers got their Championship campaign back on track with a hard earned victory over neighbours Abbeyknockmoy at Loughrea. Athenry owe their win to a blistering start which saw Cian Burke rifle the ball to the Abbey net and Cillian Lawless get on the end of a Burke cross to open up a seven point lead.
However they failed to capitalise on this and Abbeyknockmoy gradually reduced the deficit to three points at the break. Two points apiece from Ronan Hardiman and Cian Burke put daylight between the sides entering the final quarter, but Abbeyknockmoy outscored Athenry by five points to one nearing the finish and it took an excellent Tom Flynn goal to seal the issue for the men in maroon. Athenry's final group game will be against Moycullen. Final score Athenry 3-11 Abbeyknockmoy 0-14

Athenry Junior A hurlers qualified for the Championship Semi-Final when defeating a much fancied Clarinbridge side in their game played
in Castledaly. Exchanges were tight throughout the first half and scores hard earned with Athenry shading it to lead by 3 points at the interval. A Davy Donohue goal after half time gave Athenry a seven point lead but The Bridge gradually reduced the deficit and levelled matters with time almost up.
Athenry to their credit continued to take the game to the opposition and were rewarded when Davy Donohue converted a close in free for a great win. They now meet Turloughmore in the Semi Final at Kenny Park next Sunday.
Final score: Athenry 1-15 Clarinbridge 1-14
