Dunderry 1-14 Longwood 4-17

Longwood’s senior hurlers returned to competitive action at the weekend with a win over a gallant Dunderry side. With the championship looming, all teams are understandably keen to get a run out and brush off the lock-down cobwebs, and Longwood are no exception. With that in mind the result will have been warmly welcomed, as will the displays of the brothers Maguire (Kevin and Bob), Gavin Griffith, James Giles and Chris Cusack all of whom donned the white jersey once again. Newcomer Cathal Campbell also caught the eye in his first senior outing.

While bigger tests undoubtedly lie ahead, Longwood will be happy to have taken two valuable league points and can move forward with a renewed sense of hope.

Longwood: Enda Dixon, Kevin Maguire, Chris Cusack, Paul Gill, Sean Coloe, Mickey Burke, James Giles, Ross Kerrigan, Damien Healy, Bob Maguire, Anthony Healy, Karl Ennis, Gavin Griffith, Ryan Moore, Aaron Ennis Subs: Cathal Campbell, Jim Mahon
