North Intermediate Hurling Championship - 1st Round 2015
Ballinahinch 2-07 Newport 0-17 in Dolla on Saturday 2nd May. Report by Liam Hogan (Nenagh Guardian) Four points in the last eight minutes helped holders Newport claim a first round win over neighbours Ballinahinch in the opening round of the North Tipperary Intermediate Hurling championship on Saturday afternoon. Points from Eoin Shinnors (free), Conor Floyd, Pa Ryan and Eamonn McCormack sealed the win for the Mulcair men who found it very difficult to shake off a determined Ballinahinch side. With recent one sided victories in the county championship, Newport entered the game as very hot favourites. Last years lob-sided North final was another barometer to judge from when Newport won easily. However this game was far from that despite what the opening minutes indicated with Newport very much in charge. Heavy rain and a stiff breeze at their assistance they established a three point lead with Conor Floyd, Odhran Floyd and Eamonn McCormack scoring inside the opening five minutes. In the seventh minute, Kevin Mulcahy had Ballinahinch's opening score but three minutes later a busy Conor Floyd replied for Newport. Kevin Mulcahy came back again to halve the deficit with a long range free and added another when Shane McGrath was almost through on goal but was fouled in time to save Newport blushes. That was a let off for Newport. Driven on by the hard working Stephan O'Connor at centre back, Newport stepped up their game and with Pa Ryan, Odhran FLoyd and Conor Floyd very much involved, they went three points in front after Eoin Shinnors with a free and Conor O'Mahony from play left it 0-6 to 0-3. But just when one thought that Newport would take off, a breakaway attack by Ballinahinch saw Mark Kelly deflect a high ball into the path of Raphael Ryan who steered a low ball to the net past Kevin O'Brien. Ballinahinch were in a nice position for now but their backline conceded too many frees and Eoin Shinnors punished the indiscretions twice from both left and right touchlines. There was more when Shinnors increased the lead to four with two more frees but approaching half time David Gleeson struck a very good goal after a fine cross-field pass from John Foley came-in from the left wing leaving Newport 0-10 to 2-03 at half time. After the changeover Kevin Mulcahy levelled with a long range free. Eoin Shinnors gave Newport back the lead with a free but SHane McGrath levelled again on 34 minutes. Five minutes later, a quick free by Conor O'Mahoney put Odhran Floyd through for a score and Eoin Shinnors increased the lead with a free. However Ballinahinch rallied again, Marcus Ryan never gave up at centre back and the excellent Shane McGrath was forever involved and he hit back with a fine score in the 45th minute. Seconds later the sides were level for the fourth time after Raphael Ryan pointed on the run. Nothing seperated the sides for the next seven minutes until Eoin Shinnors and Conor Floyd gave Newport a two point lead. Ballinahinch battled but John Foley was deemed to have over carried close to goal and once Newport recovered they added two more points through a busy Pa Ryan with Eamonn McCormack grabbing the final score, securing a hard earned win. Team: Daragh McGrath; James O'Connor, Donnacha McGrath (Capt), Michael Fitzgerald; Thomas Grace, Marcus Ryan, Paddy Kelly; Shane McGrath (0-2) Ger Grace; Raphael Ryan (1-1), John Skehan, Kevin Mulcahy;(0-4, 3f) Mark Kelly, John Foley, David Gleeson (1-0).

North U21 'A' Football Final 2015
Newport Gaels have the goal touch Newport Gaels 2-07 Kildangan 0-10 in Lacken Park, Newport. Saturday 7th March 2015. Report by James Hayden, Nenagh Guardian. Newport Gaels captured the first silverware of 2015 with a hard-earned victory over Kildangan following an absorbing North U21 'A' final on Satruday afternoon. The Gaels, an amalgamation of players from neighbouring parishes of Ballinahinch and Newport, staved off a strong second half come back to be deservedly crowned North champions. A tenth minute Darragh McGrath goal combined with a flurry of scores as the interval approached including 1-1 from impressive substitute, Dave Ryan and a fine effort from Jack Delahunty provided the necessary platform for a Gaels victory. Having employed a two man full-forward line, the Gaels launched ball after ball down on top of Kildangan's rearguard in the opening half. IT was a tactic that paid dividends, particularly following the introduction of Ryan in the 17th minute. With a strong wind at their backs, the Gaels were first to register with early points from Jack Delahunty (45') and Kevin Connelly before McGrath netted in the tenth minute after he plucked Rob Houlihan's searching delivery out of the air and slipped the ball past the advancing Andy Loughnane in the Kildangan goal. Although Kildangan threatened in the early stages their frustrations were heightened by a trio of wides before they were finally rewarded with their opening score in the thirteenth minute after Willie Connors set up wing forward Ben Banaghan. However, the hugely impressive Conor Floyd fired an almost instant riposte for the Gaels. Although they enjoyed long bouts of possession in the opening half the men in blue and gold failed to make it count on the scoreboard. Successive points from Willie Connors and, captain, Tom McLoughlin narrowed the gap to three points before Kevin Connolly stretched the Gaels lead to four in the twenty fourth minute. The Gaels bagged their second goal less than a minute later after Darragh McGrath found Dave Ryan unmarked and in space and his low right-footed finish gave Andy Loughnane no chance. Jack Delahunty quickly added a fifth point for the Gaels before Willie Connors replied with a well struck twenty seventh minute effort. The Gaels added a late point as the break approached thanks to the boot of Dave Ryan to ensure a comfortable eight-point interval lead, 2-6 to 0-4. Kildangan enforced a double substitution at the break in a bid to freshen up their side and indeed they started brightly with early points from Darren Moran and substitute, Paul Flynn. although the game was played in a sporting manner, matters did become a little fractious in the 35th minute with a 28-man schemozzle following a couple of over robust tackles. Surprisingly, referee, Shane Hodgins chose to take no action and re-started the game with a throw-in. Matters calmed quickly though with Kildangan reducing the gap further thanks to a second point from Tom McLoughlin. The Gaels battled hard to keep Kildangan at bay and their chances were boosted when Keelan Floyd flighted over a fine effort in the 37th minute. Although it proved to be their only score of the half Floyd's point gave his side a little bit of breathing room at a crucial stage in proceedings. Kildangan responded with a number of dangerous attacks though; Tadgh Gallagher hitting the crossbar in the 50th minute before David Sweeney bisected the uprights with a fin effort. Despite the incessant pressure the Gaels broke out on a number of occasions with Darragh McGrath gifted the opportunity of putting the game to bed following a fantastic through ball from Dave Ryan. McGrath's effort was blazed right and wide. As time ticked away Kildangan cut the gap to three with a Ben Banaghan 45' and an Alan FLynn point and for the closing stages they threw everything bar the kitchen sink at the Gaels. For the closing few minutes a total of 29 players were in the Newport Gaels half of the field as the Gaels fought a determined rearguard action. The Gaels held out though to record a memorable and deserved victory over a gallant Kildangan side following a thrilling and climatic finish.

County Intermediate Hurling Championship 2014 2nd Round - Group 4. May 11th 2014 Ballinahinch 3-15 Shannon Rovers 1-13 by Liam Hogan in Nenagh Guardian. Ballinahinch produced a positive performance when they defeated Shannon Rovers in the second round of the County Intermediate hurling championship in Nenagh last Sunday. With ten players getting on the score sheet, Ballinahinch overcame a low period midway through the first half before pulling away in the second half to claim their second win of the campaign. Shane McGrath was the leader at centre back, while up front the star was Mark Kelly, scoring three goals. The right corner forward had ample assistance in Alan Kelly, John Foley and Dave Ryan, while Kevin Mulcahy stood out at midfield. Rovers, who won their first game against Ballybacon never played with consistency but had good performances in George Hannigan, Barry Cahalan, James Stack, Alan Hogan, Derek Horan and Austin Tierney. The opening ten minutes was divided into two in terms of scores with Ballinahinch going four points in front in as many minutes before Rovers responded with 1-3 inside the next five minutes with Austin Tierney grabbing the goal. However their lead lasted barely a minute when Mark Kelly availed of slack marking in the Rovers defence to get his first goal. Ballinahinch added three points to one for Rovers before Kelly struck for his second goal in the 22nd minute. By half-time it was 2-11 to 1-05 in favour of Ballinahinch and Rovers, aided by the breeze, put their opponents under pressure in the early stages but poor decision making and erratic shooting in front of goal was to deny them. They came within seven points when Derek Horan's blistering shot forced Cormac McGrath to deflect the ball over the bar. But in the 40th minute the game was signed and sealed when poor defensive play allowed Mark Kelly bustle his way into the edge of the small square and tap the ball over the line to leave the score, 3-12 to 1-08. Alan Hannigan replied for Rovers but Ballinahinch were hurling with confidence and they stretched their lead with points by Alan Kelly, Donnacha McGrath and a lengthy free by Shane McGrath. Austin Tierney rescued a point for Rovers and George Hannigan, now at full forward had a goal at his mercy but settled for a point. Another goal chance came and went but they continued to press forward as Austin Tierney add two more frees before Ger Grace ended the scoring for the victors.
