CRUSHEEN claimed the Minor C hurling championship for the fifth time in their history.

A 1-13 0-12 win over Smith O’Briens saw Crusheen get their hands on the title recently.

Last year when amalgamated with Tubber they also won the C championship. This season the amalgamation reached the B semi-final where they lost out in dramatic fashion to Newmarket-on-Fergus on ‘sudden death’ in Páirc nan Gael in Ruan after two rounds of extra time.

Previous Minor C titles were won by Crusheen in 1980, 1986, 1995 and 1997.
