John J. Murphy East Junior B Hurling Championship

De La Salle 2-9 Kilmacthomas 1-11

Our junior B hurlers got their campaign off to a winning start when they beat Kilmacthomas in Kilmacthomas last Friday. Both teams were evenly matched throughout in a game played in incessant rain but on a night when we introduced a few minors to adult hurling for the first time it took stand out performances from Jamie Sage and David Sutton to make the difference.

On a night when note taking was difficult both sides sent over five points in the first half with ours coming from Jamie Sage (3) and Eamonn Fitzgerald (2) but the vital scores came in the 25th and 26th minutes when first Jamie Sage and then Sean Power got inside their markers and goaled to leave us ahead 2-5 to 0-5 at the interval. The third quarter was much of the same with both sides adding three points with Ciaran Corrigan, Jamie Sage and Barry Twomey on target for us. Kilmacthomas then got a grip and pointed three frees before a 23rd minute goal made it all square. The decisive score came in the 27th minute when Barry Twomey pointed a sixty five to claim the victory.  

Scorers: Jamie Sage 1-4, Sean Power 1-0, Eamonn Fitzgerald (frees) and Barry Twomey (0-1 free, 0-1 ‘65) 0-2 each, Ciaran Corrigan 0-1 

Panel: Conor Bohane (captain), Tom Crotty, Darragh Fitzpatrick, David Sutton, Mark Joy Kinsella, Alan Fitzgerald, Thomas Kenny, Conor Dunphy, Luke Flynn, Lee Hayes, Eamonn Fitzgerald, Barry Twomey, Ciaran Corrigan, Jamie Sage, Sean Power, Tom Wiltshire, Christopher Sheehan, Eoin Treacy, Luke Lawlor, Keith Cooney, Philip Burke, Diarmuid Carey, Jack O’Donohoe, Peter O’Hagan, Niall O’Sullivan.
