​Junior Hurling - Micheál MacCraith were beaten by Ballinameela in the County Junior hurling final, played before a huge crowd, in Fraher Field Dungarvan, on Sunday. There’s always disappointment in losing a county final, but Tramore can be proud of their of their efforts this year, and can hold their heads high. Final score: Ballinameela 0-21 Tramore 1-10.  We started the game slow enough, and were 0-8 to 0-1 behind after 16 minutes, when the lads settled into the game, and were 0-12 to 0-7 behind at half time. Some of our scores, blocking, hooking and sheer determination was brilliant during this period. When Shane Rellis scored a super goal after 40 minutes, we were only a point behind, but credit to Ballinameela, they remained composed, played some great hurling, and scored the next 3 points from play, and were the better team thereafter, despite the trojan efforts of a gallant Tramore side. So, Ballinameela deservedly return to the Intermediate ranks, after being relegated last year. This was still a great year for our team. Nobody could have foreseen earlier in the year, that we would reach the county final after winning the Eastern final after a tough and difficult campaign. So much was achieved, and let’s hope we can build on it next year, and go one better. We have the players that can do it. Well done lads and thanks for all the enjoyment and the fine hurling played over the past 6 months.
