- County Senior Hurling Championship
De La Salle 2-19 Roanmore 0-11
Our senior hurlers ensured they would top the group with a comfortable win over neighbours Roanmore in Walsh Park last Friday night. This was a game in which we had to work hard throughout the first half to establish a four point lead but we went on to dominate after the break and a goal in each half from John Keane helped us to victory.
We began with Jamie Sage, who was making his first senior start, pointing inside the first minute. Points by Adam Farrell, Kevin Moran and Jake Dillon saw us level at 0-4 each after thirteen minutes. We took the lead in the 15th minute when Kevin Moran’s delivery was deflected by John Keane with his hand to the net and we should have had another immediately after but the Roanmore keeper saved well. Points by Bryan Phelan and Shane McNulty stretched our lead but Roanmore replied with two of their own. A David Greene point was cancelled out before John Keane ended the first half scoring with a point to see us lead 1-8 to 0-7 at the break. Roanmore opened the second half scoring but we replied with six in a row from Jake Dillon (3), Adam Farrell, Shane McNulty and Dean Twomey to lead 1-14 to 0-8 midway through the half. A double exchange of points involving Paudie Nevin and Kevin Moran was followed by Roanmore final score in the 23rd minute to make it 1-16 to 0-11. Adam Farrell added another point and then Kevin Moran, Shane McNulty and Jamie Sage combined for John Keane to goal. We ended the scoring with points from Jake Dillon and Dean Twomey

St. Saviours 0-21 De La Salle 2-11
Our understrength intermediate hurlers exited the championship when they went down to St. Saviours in Walsh Park last Saturday in a re-fixture. Fielding only eight of the team that played Ferrybank in the last game we had only thirteen intermediate players available on the day and had to call on some of the junior team to fulfil the fixture. To compound matters we lost David Sutton to injury early in the game but credit to the lads they put up a strong fight and it was only in the last ten minutes that our oppponents took over. We actually outscored our opponents from play but our tendancy to foul saw them score fourteen points from placed balls which ultimately proved very costly.
We started well with the wind and led 0-4 to 0-0 after five minutes through Brian Cunningham, Tom Moran, Donal Barron and Evan Whelan. Three frees from Brian Cunningham had us ahead 0-7 to 0-3 after twenty minutes and in the 22nd minute Donal Barron’s shot from distance found the net. St. Saviours then scored three points in a row to leave us ahead 1-7 to 0-6 at the interval.
The second half began with a double exchange of points involving Lee Hayes and Brian Cunningham. A superb individual goal from Lee Hayes put us ahead 2-9 to 0-8 in the ninth minute. A further exchange of points involving Brian Cunningham, after a foul on Lee Hayes, was followed by five consecutive points from St. Saviours to make it 2-10 to 0-14 with eleven minutes left. Brian Cunningham pointed a free in the 21st minute which proved to be our last score and St. Saviours replied with two frees of their own. They equalised in the 25th minute, somewhat controversially, when a shot that appeared from the stand to be wide was initially waved as such by the neutral umpire only for the referee to overrule and a point was the decision. It mattered little as St. Saviours were now dominant and three further frees and a point from play ensured their victory.
Scorers: Brian Cunningham 0-7 (0-6 frees), Donal Barron and Lee Hayes 1-1 each, Tom Moran and Evan Whelan 0-1 each.
Panel: Kyle Sinnott, Martin Sheehan, David Sutton, Darren Casey, Jack McCarthy, Kenneth Byrne, Jeff Cahill, Tom Moran, Lee Hayes, Conan Watt, Thomas Kearney, Donal Barron, Brian Cunningham, Patrick Flynn, Evan Whelan, Mark Joy-Kinsella, Fergal Bolger, Evan Deegan.
- County Minor Hurling Championship
Ballygunner 2-14 De La Salle 2-13
Our minor hurlers were narrowly beaten by Ballygunner in an entertaining game last Tuesday in Gracedieu. It was a game we dominated early on but Ballygunner came back into it before the break. The teams were level several times in the second half before Ballygunner got the scores at the vital time to claim the points.
We began well and two points from Brian Cunningham followed by a goal from Thomas Douglas had us ahead 1-1 to 0-0 after eight minutes. An excellent save by Jamie Roche was followed by points from Shane Ryan and Thomas Douglas. Ballygunner pointed and then Evan Whelan goaled to make it 2-4 to 0-1 after sixteen minutes. Ballygunner then took over and though we added points from Evan Whelan and Brian Cunningham they had reduced our lead to 2-6 to 1-6 at half time. An early second half point by Ballygunner was followed by two from Brian Cunningham. We then conceded a soft goal and despite a Michael Roche point it was all square at 2-9 each after eight minutes. Three points by Brian Cunningham saw the teams level three more times before Ballygunner points in the 26th and 30th minutes put them ahead. Shane Ryan reduced the arrears in injury time and we had one last chance to equalise but it dropped short and the whistle sounded.
Scorers: Brian Cunningham 0-8 (0-7 frees), Thomas Douglas and Evan Whelan 1-1 each, Shane Ryan 0-2 (0-1 free), Michael Roche 0-1.
Panel: Jamie Roche, Gavin Coppinger, Adam Doyle, Lee Wall, Craig Dowling, Jack McCarthy, Jeff Cahill, Eddie Meaney, Jack Laffan, Conor Hogan, Shane Ryan, Michael Roche, Evan Whelan, Brian Cunningham, Thomas Douglas, Mikey Costigan, Evan Deegan, Sean Carton, Sean O’Brien.
