County Minor Hurling Championship Division 1
De La Salle 2-9 Passage 1-12
A goal from a free four minutes into time injury gave Passage a deserved draw in this fifth round minor hurling championship game played in Passage last Thursday. This was a hard fought game throughout with both sides having periods of dominance but after Eddie Meaney goaled four minutes from time to put us ahead we spurned three goood chances to make the game safe before the late equaliser.
Passage opened well and scored two points in the first three minutes. Points both from play and a free by Mikey Costigan levelled matters by the sixth minute. Passage regained the lead in the 10th minute but three minutes later we were in front when after Craig Dowling was fouled, Michael Roche’s long range free was caught by Thomas Douglas who blasted the sliotar to the roof of the net. Two fouls on Mikey Costigan in the 17th and 20th minutes saw him convert both frees but three late points from Passage reduced our lead to 1-4 to 0-6 at half time. The third quarter was again tight as we added three points through Mikey Costigan (free), Jeff Cahill and Thomas Douglas while Passage added two in reply to see us lead 1-7 to 0-8 midway through the half.
Passage then hit three ponts in a row between the 18th and 21st minutes to take a one point lead. Cormac McCann equalised in the 24th minute but Passage regained the lead a minute later. We were back in front almost immediately when Cormac McCann found Eddie Meaney who shot into the far corner of the net.
James Stone addded a point with three minute of normal time left but deep into injury time we conceded a free and Passage got that goal to share the points.
Scorers: Mikey Costigan 0-5 (0-4 frees), Thomas Douglas 1-1, Eddie Meaney 1-0, Jeff Cahill, Cormac McCann and James Stone 0-1 each.
