Louth hurlers to face GMIT in Kehoe Cup

Louth hurlers have been drawn at home to GMIT in the opening round of the Kehoe Cup.

The fixture will take place on January 19^th and will be the hurlers’ first outing of 2014.

Meanwhile, a replay will be required to decide this year’s Lennon Cup winners after Ardee Community School and St Mary’s College proved inseperable in last night’s final in Darver.

The game finished 1-10 to 2-7 after extra-time, with the Marist doing superbly well to fight their way back into the game after being seven points down at half-time.

Scoil Uí Mhuirí Dunleer did manage to claim the Lennon Shield, however, after beating St Joseph’s CBS Drogheda by 3-6 to 2-8.
