Passage Junior A Hurlers went back into league action against Glen Rovers tonight after a four week break and the lack of matches showed with a lethargic display which baffled the mentors on the line. Passage welcomed back Alan Keane, home on a few days holidays from England, and he showed glimpses of past displays and converted a couple of lovely points.

Passage minor hurling team travelled to West Muskerry to play Clondroghid on Sunday evening in the 12 a side non exam county league and came away with a victory despite nearly leaving the game behind them. Passage played some wonderful hurling in the first half with the wind and Ryan Carroll playing at full forward got a hat trick of goals and ten points, six of which were from play.

Passage played their first home match in the City League on a beautiful evening in Manning Park tonight against a good Blackrock side. It was a game that the Passage lads will look back at and see that they had numerous wides and missed three very good goal chances to win the game.

Passage Junior A Hurlers came away from Knocknaheeny with a richly deserved snatch and grab victory over St Vincents. Passage, after a poor performance against Nemo Rangers last Tuesday, raised their game against a team which many fancy for the City title.

Passage Junior B Hurlers came back from a 3 goal deficit to beat the Barrs in glorious sunshine in Togher last night. Passage started by letting in 2 dubious goals which on-lookers reckoned were square goals. Passage held in there and got some great scores towards the end of the first half, which featured a great point from veteran B player, Adrian Maxwell, and an opportunist goal by young Adam Farrell.

PASSAGE JUNIOR A HURLERS FINALLY GOT TO PLAY THEIR FIRST GAME OF THE SEASON AGAINST A STRONG NEMO RANGERS TEAM IN TRABEG TONIGHT.
