Tír Eoghain travelled to Ballyshannon last Sat (Aug 28th) for the National U16 Development Squad Hurling blitz. A strong NCC representation donned the Lámh Dhearg (Red Hand) along with manager Mickey HardWall Ó Néill. Victories over Fear Manach and An Lú and a narrow 1pt defeat to Sligeach were enough to top their group and qualify for the final against Liatroim. The Ó Néill County lads hurled well in the decider, defeating the Connacht side and securing a second All Ireland Hurling title for the county within a week of the Minors. Player of the tournament was a joint award between Caolan Corr and Seán O Hagan - both Cilles players. Well done to everybody involved! Comhairgheas Libh go léir!
NCC Representatives: Michael HW Ó Néill (Bainisteoir), Caolan Corr, Seán O Hagan, Caolan Devlin, Patrick McCusker, Jack Ryan, Joe Hughes, Mel Gribben, Chris Mullen, George Hanna, Gareth Devlin.
