County Minor Hurling Championship
De La Salle 3-17 Mount Sion 4-12
Our minor hurlers maintained their unbeaten run with a narrow victory over Mount Sion in Gracedieu last Tuesday in a hard fought high scoring encounter. Having led by seven points midway through the second half we were brought back to equality in injury time before two late points saw us snatch victory.
The game had an explosive start with Mount Sion pointing and then goaling inside the first minute. We opened our account with points from Mikey Costigan and James Stone. We took the lead in the fifth minute when Mikey Costigan goaled after good work by Chris Kong. Within a minute Mount Sion were back in front with a second goal. Three frees from Mikey Costigan and one from play from Cormac McCann had us ahead 1-6 to 2-1 after twelve minutes. A minute later we got out second goal when Sean Power scored after Cormac McCann set him up. Mount Sion hit back with two points to make it 2-6 to 2-3 midway through the half. The next eleven minutes saw both sides add three points with ours coming from Sean Power, Cormac McCann and Mikey Costigan. Cormac McCann then struck for our third goal in 27th minute with an individual effort and Sean Power added another point. Mount Sion replied with two points which left us ahead 3-10 to 2-8 at the interval.
The second half scoring slowed down with points from Sean Carton in the eight minute and Mikey Costigan in the 13th minute being the only scores of the first twenty one minutes. Mount Sion then converted two frees and a sixty five between the 22nd and 25th minutes. We replied with two points from Mikey Costigan in the 27th and 28th minutes to make it 3-14 to 2-11. Back came Mount Sion to goal from a free in the 30th minute. Mikey Costigan pointed a free in the 31st minute after Conor Giles-Doran was fouled but Mount Sion replied a minute later. It looked like we would have to settle for a draw when Mount Sion goaled again in the 33rd minute but from the resultant puck out we won a sixty five which Mikey Costigan converted. Mikey followed that up with another point in the 35th minute to secure the win.
Scorers: Mikey Costigan 1-11 (0-6 frees, 0-1 ’65), Cormac McCann and Sean Power 1-2 each, James Stone and Sean Carton 0-1 each.
