Match Reports Junior A Premier Hurling:
Crecora 2-23 Doon 2-13
Our Hurlers were in action last Saturday evening in the 1st round of the County Junior A Premier hurling championship against Doon which was played in Caherconlish. We started the game defending the goal at the dressing room end. Doon were first on the score sheet but we settled into the game early and were level with the aid of a free by Cathal O’Neill. We scored a succession of points from Cathal, Edwin Wixted, Mark Shanahan and Cormac Flanagan to establish a lead half through the first half. Doon added a goal to reduce the deficit. From there to the short whistle both teams exchanged scores with James Conheady and Conor Kirby adding to our total to leave the half time score of 0-12 to 1-8 in our favour. Doon added another goal early in the second half to establish a 2point lead but we responded immediately with points from Chris Shanahan and Padraig Byrnes. A shot from distance rebounded from the post and Chris was on hand to finish to the net. Our defence stood firm as Doon responded and Ger Kennedy made a couple of vital saves to enable us to keep our noses in front. We finished the game strongly with the last 5 scores including a goal from Padraig Byrnes to seal our victory on a scoreline of 2-23 to 2-13. Next game is next Friday 9th v Kilteely/Dromkeen. Squad Ger Kennedy, Rory Hannan, Sam Riordan, Evan Moloney, Thomas Shanahan(C), Shane Moloney, Karl Moloney, Padraig Byrnes, James Conheady, Edwin Wixted, Mark Shanahan, Cormac Flanagan, Chris Shanahan, Conor Kirby, Cathal O’Neill, Sean Keyes, Tim Moloney, Oisin O’Byrne, Damien Kearney, Ciaran Cusack, Ciaran Humphreys, Ned O’ Meara, Jack Dalton, Stephen Keating.
