South Liberties Crecora Manister booked their place in the U16 Hurling Championship Final with a comprehensive victory over Belville Gaels in a windswept Askeaton on Saturday morning. Despite the early throw-in and difficult playing conditions, the team produced a strong, composed performance to run out deserving 4-07 to 0-04 winners.
The swirling wind made scoring from distance extremely difficult but goals proved decisive in this semi-final encounter. After a cagey opening, Cian Hickey struck the game’s first goal on 11 minutes to settle his side. Just five minutes later, Cillian O’Doherty found the net to extend the advantage, giving South Liberties Crecora Manister a commanding seven-point lead at the break.
Belville Gaels battled bravely after the restart, but ten minutes into the second half O’Doherty struck again with his second goal of the game, this was a decisive moment that effectively ended hopes of a comeback for the Feohanagh-Castlemahon and Feenagh-Kilmeedy amalgamation. A fourth goal from Paddy O’Connell put the result beyond doubt, while points from Cian and Gearóid Hickey, Peter Ryan, Danny and David Fitzpatrick ensured a convincing final scoreline.
At the other end, Sam Collins was solid between the posts, handling the tricky conditions superbly. In defence, Dano Sheehan, Cuan Kilroy, and Daragh Mulvihill were outstanding, cutting out several dangerous attacks and driving the team forward throughout.
It was a strong all-round team display from South Liberties Crecora Manister, who now advance to the final where they will meet a very strong Granagh-Ballingarry side fresh from their victory over Newcastle West at the same venue on Saturday morning.
Team Sam Collins, Charlie Murphy, Dano Sheehan, Dara Nash, John O’Donovan, Cian Hickey 1-03, Daragh Mulvihill, Cuan Kilroy, Paddy O’Connell 1-00, Peter Ryan 0-01, Danny Fitzpatrick 0-01, Patrick Concannon, Geraóid Hickey 0-01, Daver Fitzpatrick 0-01, Cillian O’Doherty 2-00, Daniel Lane, James Butler, Sean McMahon, Marcus Hartigan, Julian Quinn, Ollie Walsh and Ronan Downes.
