Hurling revival in Edenderry
January 10, 2020
Edenderry's Cillian Farrell won an All Ireland SHC with Offaly in 1998
Edenderry will field an adult hurling team for the first time in a number of years in 2020.
The club confirmed this week that it will field a junior hurling team this year and hopes that it will help revive hurling in the east Offaly area.
Edenderry is a football stronghold, but the local club enjoyed hurling success in the U16 grade in 2016 and '17, and also contested a minor 'B' final in 2017. Edenderry was represented by Cillian Farrell when Offaly last won the All-Ireland SHC title in 1998.
Cormac Nolan, James Merrick and Liam Kennedy will train the team and will happily accommodate players from surrounding clubs who don't have hurling teams.
