CHALLENGE MATCHES PROVE TO BE JUST THAT
07.12.10
A squad from the Baltimore Bohemians Hurling club travelled to Allentown on 26 June. Due to conflicts with other Gaelic Sports and the World Cup only 5 members made the trip. Six Hibernians were tapped out to play alongside them against 11 men in green. The home team performed well and a great effort was put out by all on the pitch. The full time match on the open pitch provided lots of passing and a good stretch of the legs. More recently on 10 July the Hibernians travelled to our Nation's Capital to take on the DC Gaels. Playing against a Junior A side, with many Irish born players, pushed the Hibernians to the limits of their skills. The DC Gaels won the match with their great point scoring abilities from all parts of the field. The game was a positive experience for the Hibs and will only help them to improve and become more determined in their effort. The DC Gaels then invited members of the team to a social at a DC pub where all had a great time.

SECOND MATCH YIELDS ANOTHER VICTORY
06.27.10
Battling high temperatures and a determined Shamrock team, the Hibernians pulled off another win. The game was held up due to thunderstorms with seven minutes to play. Only up by two points at that time nothing was certain. However when play resumed two additional points were put over the bar and time ran out.
FIRST MATCH A WIN
05.26.10
The Allentown Hibernians won the opening game of a three game series with Division rivals the Philadelphia Shamrocks. The final score was 4-11 to 0-1. Allentown scored early and kept up constant pressure on the Shamrock defense. When the ball crossed into Hibernian territory the mid fielders and backs made quick work of getting it cleared back up field. The entire line up was used getting valuable game experience for some of the new members.
