Junior Championship
Keady II 1-12 Sean Treacy’s 0-18
Sean Treacy’s got their championship campaign up and running last night with a three-point win over Keady.
The Lurgan lads had a bye in the opening round and travelled to Keady yesterday to open their account.
Keady IIs won their first-round last weekend and despite defeat they remain at the top of the Junior Hurling Championship table.
Their scoring difference is one point better than Sean Treacy’s, so they remain at the number one spot.
Cuchulainns IIs stay at the bottom of the table, pointless, following two defeats in the first two rounds.
Killeavy got the better of them last night with two points to spare, 0-19 to 1-14. St Malachy’s also just edged past them last week with a one-point win.
The Portadown men sit in mid-table following that victory last week and they had a bye in this round.
