As a club we are saddened to hear of the passing of Martin Barry, Ballyroan & London. Martin was the son of Aidan & Sheila, Aidan having played many roles in our club over the years and Martin himself a championship winner with Ballypickas Hurling Club. Our thoughts are with his brother Pádraig his niece Emma, nephew Aidan and wider family and friends. May Martin Rest in Peace

UPDATE FROM TIMAHOE

3-10 Ballypickas
3-11 The Harps
Unfortunately in the dying seconds of the game, The Harps edged ahead by a point and that was enough to secure victory for them,
Ballypickas played their best, literally dying with their boots on as the saying goes, and did their club proud. 💚💛
Thanks for all the support on the sidelines, hopefully a more detailed match report later.

Reports from Timahoe have Ballypickas with a slight lead of 3-8 to 2-8 with just a few minutes remaining 🤞💚💛
