Junior B Champions!
On Sunday, September 2nd, the Milwaukee Men's Junior B hurling team, sponsored by M. Donnelly, Inc. defeated Minneapolis by a score of 4-20 (32) to 1-11 (14) for the Junior B hurling championship at Chicago's Gaelic Park. Milwaukee has been participating in the NACB tournament since 2003, and this is the men's 1st championship. Congratulations!
On Saturday, Milwaukee beat a tough Seattle team,
4-14 (26) to 1-12 (15) to qualify for the championship game.
Hats off to a tough Minneapolis team for a great match. In its 3 years of existence, Minneapolis has been to the championship game twice and will certainly be back with a vengeance.
Milwaukee also sent a Junior C hurling team and a Junior camogie team to the tournament. The Junior C hurling team fell to a fine Denver squad that took the Junior C title on Sunday. The Junior camogie team faced a very talented St. Mary's team from Chicago that came out ahead.
Congratulations to all for the outstanding effort put forth in Chicago! Next year, it's on to Boston!
