Well done to the Inter Hurlers on a great win last night over Kilmacud Crokes with a scoreline of 1:19 – 1:13. This win secures their promotion to AHL3. A great achievement for the lads and management.

Kevin reffed 7 matches with teams from Den Haag/Eindhoven, Luxembourg, Berlin/Setanta/Helsinki, Viking, Hamburg, Stockholm Gaels/Cologne, Belgium/Vienna and Berlin! A great achievement for Kevin and a first for the club to have a referee represented at the European Championships. (pictured below)
