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
Played on Oiche Shamhna in ideal conditions in Bishopstown this was a victory to savor for Diarmuid Ó Murchús. It was a titanic battle right through the hour with O Murchus holding Inniscarra to one point in the first half scored on the 29th minute while slotting over 4 points from frees themselves.
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.
Team Panel : Oisin Murphy, Cathal O Donovan, Ruairc Sisk , Kieran May , Rory Deane , Fionn Mansfield (C) , Senan Buckley , David Herlihy, Shay Murphy , Josh Bartley, Sam Foy , Joey Middleton, Cian Lynch, Barry O Mahony, Oisin Buckley, Oisin Auzins, David Cotter, Shane Flynn , Donal Herlihy, Raphael Cruz.
Onto a county semi final V Mitchelstown on Sunday November 10th, again in Bishopstown.
That winning feeling

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
