County Senior Hurling Quarter Final
De La Salle 0-24 Mount Sion 1-21 (after extra time)
Our senior hurlers and Mount Sion could not be seperated after eighty odd minutes of a hard fought and sporting encounter in Walsh Park last Sunday. Both sides will look back and think they could have won this game and equally could have lost it. Both teams had periods of dominance but failed to do enough to win the game so we must do it all over again.
The first nine minutes saw both sides share two points each with ours coming from Shane Ryan and David Greene. The excellent John Mullane and Bryan Phelan put us two ahead but Mount Sion were level by the 17th minute. Points from Shane McNulty and Eoin Madigan put us back in front. Mount Sion pointed in the 20th minute but further points from John Mullane and Jack Fagan had us ahead 0-8 to 0-5 after twenty two minutes. Mount Sion then took over and hit five consecutive points before a Bryan Phelan free saw us trail 0-10 to 0-9 at the interval. We resumed without the injured Eddie Meaney and Mount Sion made the early running adding two points in the first six minutes. A foul on John Mullane saw Shane Ryan get our first score in the tenth minute but Mount Sion replied immediately to lead 0-13 to 0-10. Points from Eddie Barrett and Shane Ryan (2) had us level within three minutes. Jake Dillon put us ahead in the 14th minute and three Shane Ryan frees after fouls on John Mullane, Jack Fagan and himself put us ahead 0-17 to 0-13 with ten minutes to go. Mount Sion reduced the arrears in the 22nd minute and were level five minutes later when they got the game’s only goal. Twice we went ahead with points from Thomas Kearney and Jack Fagan but both times Mount Sion equalised to take it to extra time with the score 0-19 to 1-16. We began extra time with a point from John Mullane and another from Shane Ryan after Adam Farrell was fouled. Mount Sion replied in the sixth minute. Adam Farrell pointed in the eight minute and Shane Ryan followed with a free after a foul on Jake Dillon to leave us ahead 0-23 to 1-17 at half time. Back came Mount Sion with three points in the first five minutes to level matters again. Eddie Barrett put us ahead in the seventh minute but Mount Sion equalised from a sixty five a minute later. Both sides had further chances to win before the final whistle sounded on what was probably the fairest result.
Scorers: Shane Ryan (0-8 frees) 0-9, John Mullane 0-3, Bryan Phelan (frees), Jack Fagan and Eddie Barrett 0-2 each, David Greene, Shane McNulty, Eoin Madigan, Jake Dillon, Thomas Kearney and Adam Farrell 0-1 each.

De La Salle 5-10 Clonea 3-14
Our Minor Hurlers booked their place in this years county final with a hard fought victory over Clonea in an exciting semi final played in St. Mollerans on Thursday last.
With a minute on the clock a Thomas Douglas goal gave us the perfect start. In the fifth minute Thomas found the net again to stretch the lead to 5 points. Clonea responded with a goal of their own but Cormac McCann grabbed a goal in the twelfth minute to increase the lead. Clonea kept themselves in the game through some well taken points. Thomas Douglas finished the first half with a hat-trick when he goaled a minute before the break to leave us ahead 4-4 to 1-7 at half time. Two goals and a point within five minutes of the re-start gave Clonea a one point advantage. It was anyone’s game at this stage as both teams traded points. Before leaving the field due to a head injury, Dylan Finn found the net. This gave us a narrow lead which we held onto until the final whistle. A great game of hurling by two evenly matched teams. In the other semi final Ballygunner had a convincing win over St.Carthages and we now look forward to facing them in the county final in the coming weeks. Date and venue TBC.

County U-16 Division 1 Hurling Semi Final
Ballygunner 1-15 De La Salle 0-8
Our U-16 hurling team departed this year’s division one championship at the semi- final stage when well beaten by an excellent Ballygunner side at Ballygunner on Monday last. This was an excellent performance by the home side but a somewhat disappointing performance by De La Salle. The first half was a reasonably close affair with only a goal separating the sides at the break. The home side leading 1-7 to 0-7. De La Salle had two golden goal opportunities for goals in the first half and failed to convert either of them. This would prove to be costly in the overall contest. Ballygunner completely dominated matters after half time and ran out comfortable winners.
Panel: Liam Coad, Shane O’Neill, Lorcan Dwyer-Sheridan, Sean Connolly, Dean Casey, Colm Maher, Rueben O’Halloran, Kevin Hennessy, Eamonn Brosnan, Seaghan Walsh, Dan Casey, Darren Kenneally, Aidan Gannon, Dylan Finn, Joshua Campus, Sam Flynn, Jack Stickle, Evan Drohan, David Ryan, Lorcan Kerry, Nathan Finn.

County U-14 Division 2 Hurling Final
An Ghaeltacht 2-8 De La Salle 1-3
Our U-14s lost out to a strong An Ghaeltacht side in the Roinn 2 county final last Saturday. Against the wind in the first half, the lads were 5 points down at half time. We rallied well at the start of the second half and fought our way back to a 2 points deficit but our opponents’ scored their second goal of the match at the right time to stop any chance of a come back. The De La Salle lads never gave up and tried hard to close the gap, but a solid display by An Ghaeltacht saw them go on to win a well deserved county title. Well done to the lads for a great effort all through our busy Feile year, and even though we were disappointed, we’ll be back stronger next year.
