All three outgoing top table officers presented their reports for 2024 and an Tuairisc an Rúnaí (John Herlihy) resulted in lengthy discussions and discourse on issues such as our under 10s and in particular the direction ond future of our under 16 and minor cohort of players. This lasted well over an hour and everyone got a chance to speak on that.

Mitchelstown 1-13, Ó Murchús 0-11
Bowed out at the semi final stage. Mitchelstown led by 1-9 to 0-3 at HT after dominating possession, helped by a soft goal.
Ó Murchús came back strong in the second half but just couldnt bridge the gap, especially as an all important goal eluded them.
Thanks to all for a big year this year at this age group.
Diarmuid Ó Murchús 0-10, Inniscarra 0-4
Tactically it was a superb display from Ó Murchús who defended to a man while attacking at pace which the opposition could not live with. 4 points to 1 at half time O Murchu’s stretched it out to 6 with points from play from Cian Lynch, Oisin Buckley and David Herlihy and seven points from frees from Shay Murphy.
Three years this panel of players are together under the Ó Murchús umbrella and this was an achievement for dedication and hard work which they thoroughly deserved. Diarmuid Ó Murchús Abú.
Inniscarra V Diarmuid Ó Murchús
A dramatic end to the game as Inniscarra snatched a draw from a free after Ó Murchús went ahead by a point, both scores coming in injury time.
This was a tough tight game all through. Inniscarra started the better and were ahead a different times in the first half by anywhere from one point to two points. They were playing with the breeze in that half.
They found themselves 4 points ahead in the run up to HT but a brilliant point from play from Ó Murchús brought it back to 3 points at HT.
Ó Murchus refused to give in and got the boost of a goal midway through the second half to level it up at 0-11 to 1-8. Inniscarra went ahead twice before the dramatics of injury time and the final whistle. At this point there was some confusion as to what was going to happen vis á vis extra time or replay or even a date for a replay.
The replay is provisionally fixed for this Thursday evening
