CAPPAMORE GAA CLUB NOTES
U21 county quarter final Cappamore 4-13 Blackrock 3-16 (aet)
Cappamore win 3-2 in a penalty shoot out
In a pulsating match goalie Liam O’ Donnell proved to be the hero as he scored one and saved three penalties in the penalty shootout that saw Cappamore qualify for the U 21A county semi-final.
Played in Hospital in awful conditions Blackrock got the first score of the game, a long range point. Cappamore playing well responded with points from Donal O’ Mahoney and Ronan Hanley. O’ Mahoney added a point from a free to extend the lead but a goal from Blackrock’s Colm O’ Keeffe saw Blackrock edge back in front. Pointed frees from Blackrock’s Heffernan and O’ Keeffe along with two from Hanley and a free from O’ Mahoney had Blackrock a goal ahead after 20 mins. Another goal from O’ Keeffe had Blackrock now ahead by 2 goals. Cappamore fought back hard and reduced the deficit to 2 thanks to 4 unanswered points from O’ Mahoney (2), Hanley and full forward Daniel Thompson but 2 late points from Blackrock had them leading 2-7 to 0-9 at half time.
The introduction of Kevin Doyle early in the second half was decisive, scoring 2 goals that brought Cappamore right back into the game. The game was finely balanced, Blackrock were accurate from play and placed balls but O’ Mahoney with 2 frees and another from Thompson added points for Cappamore. A late goal from Ronan Hanley got Cappamore into the lead but a free from Blackrock’s Daithi Heffernan deep into injury time sent the match to extra time.
In extra time with conditions worsening and light fading scores were hard to come by. Both teams were giving it their all, Sean Whelan in defence and PJ Hogan in attack excelled for Cappamore. A third goal from super sub Doyle and a point from Jason Fitzgibbon had Cappamore 4 points up at half time. Blackrock fought back and a late penalty scored by Heffernan followed by a pointed free saw the match level again and sent it to a shootout.
To be fair it was a game that neither team deserved to lose but in these COVID 19 times there had to be a winner this evening. Goals in the shootout from Liam O’ Donnell, Donal O’ Mahoney and Jason Fitzgibbon along with the saves from O’ Donnell saw Cappamore through.
It was a great team effort where all the players played well in a difficult night for hurling.

U14b hurling championship round 1Cappamore 0-6Patrickswell 1-7Our campaign got off to a disappointing start last Wednesday night in Cappamore. Failure to take several good scoring chances along with a fortuitous goal late on for the opposition proved the difference between the two sides on the night.The match was very closely contested throughout and the Cappamore lads could not be faulted for their efforts.Next up in round 2 is a trip to face Adare on August 5th.PanelMal KeoghChris Smith Cillian o Dwyer Shane FlemingCathal Mulcahy Mikey Berkery Jacob Wright Colum Hanley Jack o Donnell(0-2f) Eamonn Ryan Evan Coleman(0-3, 1f) Jake Slattery(0-1)Shane o Connor Alex Heney Shane o NeillReplacements: Cian O Connor Tommy Dillon
