Another league final for Newmarket

A one-point win over Clarecastle at Shannon last Saturday evening earned Newmarket a place in the Division 3 Intermediate Hurling League final. The final score was 0-14 to 1-10.

Less than 24-hours later the Newmarket seniors won their league semi-final completing a great treble for the club, as their juniors have already got through to the final where they await the winners of this weekend’s Scariff v Feakle replay.
Newmarket are also awaiting the outcome of another replay before learning who they will face in the Divsion 3 final after Inagh-Kilnamona and Cratloe played an 0-18 to 0-18 draw on Saturday. They will replay on Monday.
