Longford Intermediate champions Grattans found the going too tough against Kilkenny senior champions Muckalee in the Leinster Club Junior Championship quarter-final at Emmet Park, Killoe on Saturday.
Muckalee (Kilkenny) . . . 3-12 Grattans . . . 0-9
Having led by 0-5 to 0-4 at half-time, Grattans were overpowered in the second half by their physically stronger opponents.
Muckalee showed their experience in the second half, firing in three goals to win comfortably.
It was certainly a chastening day for Grattans, who had beaten Dromard easily in the county final. However, this young side can now look forward to a return to the senior ranks next year.
