BALLYBRICKEN/BOHERMORE GAA CLUB NOTES

Junior A: Our junior A hurlers played the first round of the all-county championship, we are participating in group 3 with 5 rounds were we will play Killeedy, Monaleen, Templeglantine, Fennagh Kilmeedy, Rathkeale over the next few months. First up was a strong Killeedy outfit who we played last Sunday in Croagh losing out on a score line of 3-18 to 1-16. Played in humid conditions we produced a blistering start with points from Conor McCarthy by 2, Daniel Owens, Daniel McGuire and Michael Martin by 2 leaving us leading 0-6 to 0-1 in the early stages. We failed to build on this lead and were level going in to the first water break 0-7 to 1-4 our only score after the break was a sweet strike from Conor McCarthy leaving us trailing at half-time by a goal. After conceding the first score of the half we converted a free from Dan Owens and we won a penalty which was precisely dispatched by Conor Mac to leave the sides level and all to play for. Killeedy came on strong and converted a goal from play and dominated the score board which left us trailing 1-12 to 2-15 at the second water break the last quarter had both teams exchanging scores and we could not close the gap leaving us behind by 8 at the final whistle. There is four more games left in the group and to guarantee qualification we can and will need to win the four. Team from Shane O Neill, Mark O Dea, Eoin Kloss, Jack Owens, Alan O Riordan, Patrick Byrnes, John Stack, Matt Mitchell, Conor McCarthy, Michael Martin, Niall Mitchell, Eoghan O Neill, Daniel Owens, Sean Teefy, Daniel McGuire (c), John Casey, Colm Teefy, Enda O Callaghan, Daniel Garry, Aaron O Brian, Joseph Teefy, John Hanly.
