Our U13’s took to Lisdowney on Saturday the 25th of July in perfect hurling conditions for the annual Lisdowney 7’s Tournament. Our first round game saw us meet a strong Dicksboro side. A keenly fought first half meant scores were at a premium, with the ‘Boro opening the scoring before Oisín Egan and Paddy Brennan put GBC one point up. Paddy was unlucky to have a goal disallowed before the half time whistle. Discksboro got the final score of the half to leave it 2 points a-piece at half time. Read more
