We played Cobh in a challenge match in Shanbally last night. We had only one minor on show for the first half and two for the second period. The rest of the team consisted of our U16 team. This was a great exercise for the upcoming U16 and minor hurling championship games next week. Cobh … Read more
Ballygarvan 1-11, Shamrocks 1-4 Another disappointing evening for the Club and its supporters, with our Junior Footballers failing to advance in the championship played in Belgooly. Shamrocks were poor and indecisive throughout the game and on the night their opponents were but a shadow of their great team of a few years … Read more
Ballymartle 4-17, Shamrocks 1-10 The scoreline tells its own story and a youthful Ballymartle side filled with gifted players and excellent hurling acumen, made light of the Shamrocks challenge. Unfortunately for Shamrocks, too many players underperformed and it was left to the few to salvage any pride. Shamrocks led briefly after ten … Read more
Tracton 1-18, Shamrocks 1-13 On a beautiful Summer’s evening, with conditions ideal for hurling Tracton deservedly defeated Shamrocks at Liam McCarthy Park. Overall Shamrocks were well below par on the night and some recent good form displayed in league games completely deserted them. Shamrocks started positively with ‘keeper Michael O’Neill pointing a long … Read more

Tracton 2-15, Shamrocks 0-7 Shamrocks enter the back door route in their quest for the SE football championship after being crushed by Tracton on Sunday night in Carrigaline.

Valley Rovers 3-5, Shamrocks 0-5 After the hammering against an on fire Ballymartle team during the week, this was a much better performance from an understrenght Shamrocks team at wet, windy and cold Brinny on Sunday morning last. The conditions were certainly not conductive to fast, flowing hurling and it was reflected in … Read more
Ballymartle 5-16, Shamrocks 0-7 Once again Ballymartle gave Shamrocks a lesson in how to play hurling at a frozen Shanbally on Tuesday evening last.
