U16 Div 2 County Final

Garryspillane 2-13 Bruff 4-13

Our U16 hurlers fell at the final hurdle last Sunday evening, going down to a fine Bruff team in sunny Hospital.

Despite starting brightly, the young Bouncers were rocked early by a Bruff goal. Working hard throughout the field we battled our way back and an Owen O’Sullivan goal just before the water break saw us lead by 3 points. We continued to work hard on resumption and a great score from Bailey Ryan saw us lead by 4 points. Bruff were proving to be very dangerous in attack and in a 10 minute purple patch before half time they out scored us 2-4 to a single point.

A leg injury to centre back Cathal O’Mahony certainly didn’t help matters either. Bruff added 3 points in a row into the second half and we looked in trouble. But credit where it’s due our lads stuck to the their task and died with their boots on as they say, dominating the final 20 or so mins. John English was dominant in midfield and Paddy Kennedy was commanding possession all over. With 4 mins on the clock Owen O’Sullivan struck a second goal , shortly followed by a Shane Ryan free leaving only 2 points between the sides entering the final minutes.

Those crucial scores never came though and Bruff clinched it with a 4th goal with the last puck of the game. We will rue several missed chances and a tally of wides uncharacteristic of the team all year. Credit to Bruff who are a fine team and were more economical and clinical in front of goal which was the difference on the day.

The final whistle brought an end to an unusual and challenging season. Many thanks to all the players and their families for their committment, and to the management team of John O’Connor, Gearóid Power, Joe Keogh and James O’Keeffe. Well done all.
