Sargent Cup Senior Hurling League
De La Salle 2-19 Abbeyside 2-17
Our senior hurlers defeated Abbeyside in the Sargent Cup in Kill last Friday night in an open and entertaining game between two understrength sides. After a close first half we dominated the third quarter and opened up a seven point lead but Abbeyside came back and could have snatched a draw at the end.
Points from Adam Farrell and John Mullane gave us an early lead but by the tenth minute we trailed 0-5 to 0-2. Points from Dean Twomey, John Keane and John Mullane had us level before Jamie Sage struck in the 14th minute for a goal. Three points had Abbeyside level by the 20th minute. A double exchange of points involving two excellent strikes by John Mullane had it 1-7 to 0-10 with five minutes left. Brian Cunningham regained the lead before Abbeyside goaled. We finished the half strongly with Adam Farrell, Jamie Sage and John Keane all pointing to see us lead 1-11 to 1-10 at half time.
We began the second half well with Brian Cunningham (2) and John Keane pointing. Abbeyside scored twice either side of a John Mullane point to make it 1-15 to 1-12 after eight minutes. We were on top a this stage as Brian Cunningham, Bryan Phelan, John Keane and David Greene all added further points to leave us ahead 1-19 to 1-12 midway through the half. Abbeyside pointed in the 17th minute and followed with a goal in the 25th minute to reduce the margin to three points. A minute later Brian Cunningham set up Evan Whelan for our second goal and the points looked secure. However, Abbeyside responded with four points to narrow the gap but we held out in the additional minutes.

Phelan Cup County Senior Football League
Kilrossanty 3-9 De La Salle 2-4
A poor first half performance meant this game was more or less over at the interval. Our recent lack of football activity was very evident in that half as we strugled with our passing and kicking throughout. Kilrossanty opened the scoring in the second minute with a point and we were thankful to keeper David Dennison for two brilliant one on one saves from county star Paul Whyte before Kilrossanty added further points in the 16th and 18th minutes. They finished the half strongly with goals in the 22nd and 26th minutes and pointed in between to lead 2-4 to 0-0 at the break. They pointed again six minutes into the second half before David Kennedy finally opened our account in the eight after we had kicked another three wides. A minute later Lee Hayes pointed but Kilrossanty replied with a goal and two points to lead 3-7 to 0-2 after thirteen minutes. Lee Hayes and Mitchell Casey from a free after Stephen Dalton was fouled reduced the arreaers. We goaled in the 22nd minute when David Kennedy’s high ball saw James Grogan rise above the keeper to punch to the net. Kilrossanty added two points before Mitchell Casey ended the scoring when he goaled from the penalty spot after Colm Morris was grounded by the keeper as he went round him.
Scorers: Mitchell Casey 1-1 (1-0 penalty, 0-1free), James Grogan 1-0, Lee Hayes 0-2, David Kennedy 0-1.
Panel: David Dennison, Martin Sheehan, Colm Clancy, Stephen Dalton, David Greene, Thomas Kearney, Stephen Walsh, Ian Cantwell, Oran Keevers, Colm Morris, Mitchell Casey, Kenneth Byrne, David Kennedy, Lee Hayes, Patrick Kennedy, Patrick Flynn, James Grogan, Eamonn Dalton.

U-11 A Hurling
De La Salle 3-4 Ballygunner 3-7
On Wednesday we suffered a narrow 3 point defeat to unbeaten and tabletoppers Ballygunner away in the last game of our U-11 campaign. We started brightly and got the first goal of the game from debutant Conor Keane and finished the first half ahead after an excellent battling performance. Ballygunner came at us at the start of the second half but we held firm and kept our lead midway through the second half. Two late goals from Ballygunner however nudged them ahead going into the closing minutes and they held on for the win. We did have a couple of chances at the end but unfortunately no score materialised. This was though a great performance from the lads and a game which they didn’t deserve to lose. This now concludes our U-11 campaign. In the 6 games we played, we won 2 and lost 4 of which the losing margins were 3 points, 2 points and 2 games by a point. In what was a very tight and competitive league, we competed well and were not found wanting in any game. We are now taking a break, so to everyone, enjoy and see you all in August.
Scorers: Josh Kelly 1-1, Conor O’Shea 0-0, Conor Keane 2-0, Josh Duggan 0-1.
Panel: Glen Buckley, Lee Cleary, Darragh Crowe, Cormac Dawson, Robbie Deveraux, Josh Duggan, Alex Maguire, Alex Keane, Shane Keenan, Josh Kelly, Conor O’Shea, Kieran O’Sullivan, Dylan Stickle, Daire Treacy, Conor Keane.
