	TITLE - Hurlers are Victorious -5/1/2003 Hurlers are Victorious Congratulations to the club's hurlers who were victorious this past weekend at the "All American Junior B level Championships" at Gaelic Park in Chicago.  Atlanta won the mini-tournament with two great performances against Milwaukee hurling club and St. Louis hurlers.  Notre Dame "the college" competed in the competition to make up four teams in total.  Action photos of the tournament can be found at the following link. http://www.hurling.net/ The first game was hard fought and could have easily gone either way as Milwaukee put up stiff resistance.  The teams were evenly matched and the score taking was "tit for tat" thru out the entire game.  Neither team dominated which made it quite an exciting game to watch.  Tremendous efforts were made by many players who exceeded expectations,  however one man made the difference for the Gaels.  He was Stephen Morgan who scored from 65's and mentored the entire team to a higher level of play.  The Final score was Atlanta 3-6 Milwaukee 2-7. The final was against St. Louis.  They came out with all guns firing and surprised Atlanta with an early goal.  Atlanta clawed its way back into the game with some fine point taking in the first half.  Then the goals came which sealed the game for Atlanta. Final Score was Atlanta 3-16 St. Louis 1-4 It was quite difficult to name a man of the match as so many players did so well.  Neutral spectators took note of certain players such as Noel Ennis, Jim Morecraft and Kevin Devin.  John Boyce and Brendan Crowley were "on fire".  The man of the tournament is Stephen Morgan! The tournament was a huge success.  The Chicago hurling elite were quite impressed with the standard and have given us an open invitation to Gaelic Park.  Thanks to Paul Browne for organizing it.  Long may it continue!
