Match Reports Junior A Premier Hurling:
Crecora 1-14 Kilteely/Dromkeen 1-16
Our hurlers were in action last Friday evening in the 2nd round of the County Junior A Premier Hurling Championship against Kilteely/Dromkeen which was played in Caherelly. This was a keenly contested game which was decided by a late goal by Kilteely Dromkeen in a dramatic finale. We had got off to the best possible start with an early goal from Chris Shanahan. Conor Kirby added a point before our opposition got off the mark with a point. We added to our total in the first half with points from Cormac Flanagan, Chris, James Conheady and Mark Shanahan to leave the half time score of 1-7 to 0-9 in our favour. We extended our lead with scores from Padraig Byrnes, Cormac and Cathal O’Neill but by the middle of second half there was the minimum between the teams. Despite scores from James and Cathal, we found ourselves a point down as the game entered injury time but our lads showed great commitment in winning a free which Cathal scored to leave the teams level. From the puckout we won the ball and delivered to Mark Shanahan on the left hand side of the pitch who scored to put us in front with time almost up. There was still time for one last attack and unfortunately for us it ended with the concession of a goal to leave the final score of 1-14 to 1-16. This was a tough way to end a great battling performance by the team who now have a number of weeks to prepare for the next round. 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, Paraic O’Neill, Ned O’ Meara, Jack Dalton, Stephen Keating.
We would like to take this opportunity to wish Karl Moloney every success on his upcoming move to Australia and to thank him for the tremendous attitude and commitment he has always brought to the club.
