8/09/08
This week the weather played havoc with our games but the one's that went ahead were a great success.
Our minor hurlers travelled to Meanus to replay the South Final with Hospital/Herbertstown and it turned out to be a cracker. Croom's scores were coming from play while Hospital were punishing us from free's and we went in at the break 2 points up scoring 1-04 to Hospital's 0-5. After the break we pushed a few more points ahead with a well taken goal from Shane MacNamara but back came Hospital with a goal of their own and with 10 min left it was level, the game turned in our favour with the introduction of Bibo Cahill who scored a goal and a point in quick succession. With the last puck of the game Connor Alice scored a goal from midfield to put gloss on what was a closer game than the final scoreline of 4-12 to 1-13 would suggest. It would be unfair to pick a man of the match because all played well, well done to all involved. In the other game, also a South Final our U14 hurlers coached by Aidan Mangan and Paddy Hynes accounted for Glenroe on a scoreline of 3-12 to 1-08 and they now head to Ballyagran on Sun next for the County Semi-final, throw in is 12.30pm, best of luck lads.

Since the turn of the Millennium, Croom have competed at the highest level in senior hurling coming close on three occasions, with two narrow semi-final and last seasons final defeat. Our footballers have also competed strongly but have failed to regain senior status again, coming close in 2000 when beaten in the intermediate final by Gerald Griffins.
Pairc na nGael on the Church Road in Croom has been home to our club for almost 120 years and was one of the first venues in the country to have flood lights erected for training purposes, it was also the venue over the years for many county championship games because of its central location. Before the development of the Gaelic Grounds, Croom also hosted National league games and credit must go to the many grounds people who have given their time and effort over the years.
