8th June 2012 - Weekend Preview

This weekends hurling action gets underway with the clash of Gort and our near neighbours Beagh in the Junior B League on Friday evening at 7:30pm in Gort. Both teams have been going well in the league so far. Gort have had two wins and two defeats while Beagh have played 5 games with 3 wins and 2 defeats. Gort have a couple of injury worries which mean that Liam Forde and Trevor Ryan probably will not be available for tonight's game. While the weather is promised bad, as much support as possible would be greatly appreciated. Now that we have seats in the stand, we need to start putting bums onto them!!! For those who cannot make it there will be live updates on Twitter from 7:30pm.

On Saturday at 3:30pm in Athenry, Gort play their second game of the group stages of the Senior Hurling Championship against Moycullen. A win here will put Gort through to the quarter final stages of the competition with one group game (against Tommy Larkins) remaining. Latest odds from Paddy Powers have Gort as overwhelming 1/12 favourites to win this game. Moycullen, who won last years intermediate competition, have already lost their first group game to Tommy Larkins, so really need to win this game to have any hope of progressing through to the knock-out stages of the competition. Live updates throughout the game on Twitter from 3:20pm.
