De La Salle 0-19 Kilmacthomas 0-9
Our junior B hurlers qualified for the final with a good win over Kilmacthomas in Walsh Park last Sunday. Playing against the wind in the first half we held our opponents to a one point lead and in the second half we took over the game and got the scores needed to secure the victory.
We opened the scoring with a Keith Cooney point in the first minute but Kilmacthomas equalised immediately. Eamonn Fitzgerald restored our lead in the fourth minute after Shaun O'Brien was fouled and Barry Twomey added another a minute later. Three points by Kilmacthomas had them ahead by the ninth minute but Willie Power had us all square in the 13th minute. Points in the 14th and 15th minutes had Kilmacthomas ahead again but Willie Power replied in the 19th minute and Keith Cooney levelled matters in the 23rd minute. Kilmacthomas again hit the front with points in the 26th and 27th minutes before a foul on Luke Lawlor saw Eamonn Fitzgerald point in the 32nd minute to give our opponents a half time lead of 0-8 to 0-7. We began the second half with two frees from Eamonn Fitzgerald. Thomas Kenny pointed from distance in the fourth minute and two more frees from Eamonn Fitzgerald had us ahead 0-12 to 0-8 after eight minutes. The next score came in the 17th minute when the excellent Eamonn Fitzgerald pointed and he added three more from two frees and a sixty five to make it 0-16 to 0-8 with twenty four minutes played. Kilmacthomas got what proved to be their only second half score in the 26th minute before our goalkeeper Conor Bohane pointed a long range free. Late points from Willie Power and Luke Lawlor ended the scoring.
