The Premier Intermediate hurling championship 1st round Kilbrittain v Newcestown will be broadcast live on C103 from 7pm for anyone who cannot make the game and especially for anyone abroad who can access C103 online.

The lads in Sydney have been on to say "Best of luck lads on Saturday".

Fair play to them. Best Of Luck to the Premier Intermediate Hurlers in the 1st round against Newcestown tonight at 7pm in Bandon.

As the playing season is now in full swing, many players are using Lucozade sports drinks. Please remember to keep the sports bottle caps, (blue, white, red and the new green caps). There is plenty of gear to be got by simply exchanging these bottle caps for the gear at the end of the year. Collection points will soon be set up in Hickeys Shop, Cashmans, Kilbrittain Inn and the Post Office. Anyone who sees lucozade sport bottles discarded in dressing rooms or in the public arena, are encouraged to take the cap off the bottle and discard the bottle in a bin. Caps can be given to club officers also.

Best of luck to Ross Cashman and Jamie Wall and also Peter Brennan who are all involved with the Cork Intermediate Hurlers on Sunday in Thurles.
