John J. Murphy East Junior B Hurling Championship

De La Salle 2-20 Passage 0-8

Our junior B hurlers remain unbeaten after they had a comfortable win over Passage in Gracedieu last Thursday. We took control of this game midway through the first half against a Passage side not helped by injuries to two players in this half and we continued to dominate throughout the second half. It was good to see the younger players progress with Eoin Treacy in particular on his first start having a fine game.

The first eleven minutes were even enough with both sides scoring two points each, ours coming from the excellent Conor Dunphy and Jamie Sage. Further points followed from Conor Dunphy (2), Eamonn Fitzgerald (2), Luke Lawlor (2), Ciaran Corrigan and Barry Twomey before Passage pointed before the break to make 0-10 to 0-3. Passage opened the second half scoring but Conor Dunphy and Eamonn Fitzgerald replied by the fifth minute. We got our first goal in the 10th minute when Alan Fitzgerald, Ciaran Corrigan and Christopher Sheehan combined for Barry Twomey to crash the ball to the net. Ciaran Corrigan, Jamie Sage and Eamonn Fitzgerald (2) added further points. Passage replied with two points to make it 1-16 to 0-6 after nineteen minutes. Christopher Sheehan (2) and Tom Wiltshire added to our points tally before Philip Burke and Christopher Sheehan worked the opening for Eamonn Fitzgerald to finish low to the net in the 26th minute. Eamonn followed up with a point which was our last score before a battling Passage side got the last two points of the game.

Scorers: Eamonn Fitzgerald 1-6 (0-4 frees, 0-1 ‘65) Conor Dnphy 0-4, Barry Twomey 1-1, Jamie Sage, Ciaran Corrigan, Luke Lawlor and Christopher Sheehan 0-2 each, Tom Wiltshire 0-1. 

Panel: Conor Bohane (captain), Kieran O’Donohoe, David Sutton, Tom Crotty, Mark Joy Kinsella, Alan Fitzgerald, Eoin Treacy, Conor Dunphy, Luke Flynn, Barry Twomey, Ciaran Corrigan, Eamonn Fitzgerald, Luke Lawlor, Jamie Sage, Sean Power, Tom Wiltshire, Christopher Sheehan, Philip Burke, Jack O’Donohoe, Ronan O’Connor.

County Senior Hurling League

Roanmore 1-11 De La Salle 0-9

Our understrength senior hurlers went down to Roanmore when a goal three minutes into injury time finally decided this game played in Roanmore last Saturday evening. Despite missing many senior players through county commitments and injuries we led by a point at half time before Roanmore opened up a four point lead in the second half. We narrowed the gap to two points before that late goal settled it.

Scorers: Brian Cunningham 0-4 (0-2 frees) Adam Farrell 0-3, Thomas Kearney and Eddie Barrett 0-1 each.
