County Senior Hurling Championship
De La Salle 4-18 Ballyduff Upper 2-11
Our senior hurlers booked their place in the knockout stages of the championship with a good win over a battling Ballyduff Upper side in Fraher Field last Friday. This was a much improved display and with Jack Fagan and John Mullane in scoring form we led by eight points at half time. Second half goals from Eddie Barrett and Jack Fagan ensured our victory.
Bryan Phelan opened the scoring in the second minute from a long range free after Steven Daniels was fouled. Ballyduff Upper equalised before points from John Mullane, Bryan Phelan and Shane Ryan put us three ahead. We got our first goal in the 11th minute when Steven Daniels and Jack Fagan combined for John Mullane to finish to the net. Ballyduff Upper pointed twice and Jack Fagan replied with one. Ballyduff Upper pointed again and followed up with a goal to see us ahead 1-5 to 1-4 after sixteen minutes. Points from Shane Ryan and Bryan Phelan were cancelled out by two from Ballyduff Upper by the 23rd minute. Kevin Moran pointed after some excellent play by Oran Keevers and John Mullane added another. We got our second goal in the 26th minute when Jack Fagan controlled Eoin Madigan’s free and crashed the ball to the net. A foul on Jack Fagan saw Shane Ryan convert the free and John Mullane pointed again to make it 2-11 to 1-6 at half time.
John Mullane opened the second half scoring with a point in the third minute but Ballyduff Upper replied likewise in the sixth minute. David Greene and John Mullane then combined a minute later to set up Eddie Barrett who finished cleverly for our third goal. Back came Ballyduff Upper with three points in a row before Jake Dillon pointed for us. Ballyduff Upper pointed again and goaled from a free in the 18th minute to make it 3-13 to 2-11. However, that proved to be their last score as David Greene pointed in the 20th minute and four minutes later Jack Fagan again got on the end of an Eoin Madigan free and finished low to the net. Jack then pointed three frees between the 26th and 30th minutes before Eddie Barrett ended the scoring with an injury time point.
Scorers: Jack Fagan 2-4 (0-3 frees), John Mullane 1-4, Eddie Barrett 1-1, Bryan Phelan (0-2 frees, 0-1 ’65) and Shane Ryan (0-1 free) 0-3 each, Kevin Moran, Jake Dillon and David Greene 0-1 each.

Gerry Kennedy Crash Repairs East Intermediate Hurling Championship

Two second half goals from debutant Cormac McCann saw our intermediate hurlers come from behind to beat Butlerstown in Gracedieu last Saturday. We had trailed 0-7 to 0-5 at half time in what was a very competitive game. This was a very good result considering the team lost five players to senior ranks and injury since their last game. It also means we have topped the group. We now await Monday’s draw to see who we play next Saturday in the quarter final.

Condolences
Last Thursday saw the passing of two former club players, John (Sean) Ryan and Tommy McLoughlin, to their eternal reward.
John (Sean) Ryan was a native of Clonmel who joined De La Salle when he came to work in the Foundry in the 1960s. He hurled for De La Salle winning a Sargent Cup medal in 1966. Later he served as a committee member and as a selector when De La Salle regained senior status by winning the county intermediate hurling championship in 1990 and when they won the Sargent Cup in 1991.
Tommy McLoughlin, the proprietor of The Tavern pub, played hurling and football for the club winning a county minor football medal in 1953. He represented Waterford in minor football in 1954 on a team which drew with Kerry.
We extend our sympathy to the Ryan and McLoughlin families. A minutes silence was observed before the senior hurling game on Friday night. Ar dheis Dé go raibh siad.
