  A superb second half display from Eire Óg at Ballinascreen on Sunday helped the Tyrone champions to the Ulster Minor Hurling Shield title against Armagh side Craobh Ciaran on a score line of 1-12 to 0-9. Played in difficult conditions, and despite playing wind assisted in the first half, the Carrickmore based side went in at the break only three ahead with Aidan Woods and Francie Hurson among the points. Eire Óg introduced Kevin Cuddy at the start of the second half and that change had a huge bearing on the outcome. Cuddy’s all action style and constant running caused all sorts of diffi ..read more

Ulster Intermediate Hurling Championship Final Setanta 1-16 Eire Og 2-11 Eire Óg went into Saturday’s Ulster Intermediate Final against Setanta with a fair degree of confidence and self belief following wins over Lisbellaw and Creggan in their Ulster campaign. Unfortunately for them they didn’t get to the performance levels of those two games and, in the first half particularly, looked undercooked and off the pace. The Tyrone champions appeared somewhat subdued during the opening half as a Gerard Gilmore inspired Setanta side reached the break leading by six on a 0-11 to 0-5 scoreline. Eire Óg ..read more
